Question

A woman bought some large frames for $10 each and some small frames for $5 each add a closeout sale if she bought 20 frames for $135 find how many of each type she bought

Answer 1

The quantity of large frames is 7

The quantity of small frames is 13

Explanation:

Given as :

The price of each large frames = $ 10

The price of each small frames = $ 5

The total number of both frames bought = 20

The price for both the frames = $ 135

Now,

Let the quantity of large frames = L

And The quantity of small frames = S

So , According to question

The total number of both frames bought = 20

Or, The quantity of large frames + the quantity of small frame = 135

Or, L + S = 20 ......A

And $ 10 L + $ 5 S = $ 135 ................B

Or, $ 10× ( L + S ) = $ 10× 20

Or, $ 10 L + $ 10 S = $ 200

( $ 10 L + $ 10 S ) - ( $ 10 L + $ 5 S ) = $ 200 - $ 135

Or , ( $ 10 L - $ 10 L ) + ( $ 10 S - $ 5 S ) = $ 65

Or, 0 + 5 S = 65

∴ S =
`(65)/(5)`

I.e S = 13

So, The quantity of small frames = S = 13

Put the Value of S in eq A

So , L + S = 20

Or, L = 20 - S

Or, L = 20 - 13

∴ L = 7

So, The quantity of large frames = L = 7

Hence The quantity of large frames is 7

And The quantity of small frames is 13 Answer
