A sporting goods store sells right-handed baseball gloves and left handed baseball gloves. In 1 month 12 gloves were sold for a total revenue of $561. Right-handed gloves cost $45 and left-handed gloves cost $52. How many of each type of gloves did they sell?
Accepted Solution
A:
x = number of right-handed gloves 12 - x = number of left-handed gloves
45x + 52 (12 - x) = 561 distribute 45x + 624 - 52x = 561 combine like terms -7x + 624 = 561 subtract 624 from both sides -7x = -63 divide both sides by -7 x = 9 (amount of right handed gloves)
