a woman bought some large frames for $14 each and some small frames for $5 each at a closeout sale. If she bought 15 frames for $111, find out how many of each type she bought

Question

I am stuck on this word problem

Answer 1

l + s = 15, s = 15 - l

14l + 5s = 111

Substitute:

14l + 5(15 - l) = 111

14l + 25 - 5l = 111

9l = 86

l = 9.56

Therefore, there is an error in the problem because one can not buy 9.56 frames. Is there an error in the text of your problem?
