Please help me make these two equations (I NEED IT IN 30 MIN)

Question

They sold a total of 20 pairs.

Plastic gloves cost $7.95.

Cloth gloves cost $11.50.

In total they store received $176.75. 

I need the two equations that make up this problem to solve the amount of gloves that were sold

Answer 1

Hi Jordan,

I'll use "P" for plastic and "C" for cloth. This is a system of equations. Your two equations will be:

1. P+C=20 (total plastic gloves + total cloth gloves as a quantity
2. (P x 7.95) + (C x $11.50) = $176.75

I hope this helps. I would highly recommend that you post sooner in the future so you don't put yourself in a crunch. Good luck.
