Question

Kyle was given the following problem to solve.

​A company sells baseball gloves and bats. The gloves regularly cost $30 and the bats regularly cost $90. The gloves are on sale for $4 off, and the bats are on sale for 10% off. The goal is to sell $1200 worth of bats and gloves each week. Last week, the store sold 14 gloves and 9 bats.
​Did the store meet its goal?

Answer 1

no, they did not meet their goal.

Explanation:

gloves: $30

$30-$4=$26

$26*14=$364

bats: $90

$90-10%

10%=$9

$90-$9=$81

$81*9=$729

$364+$729=$1093

So, no, they did not reach they’re goal of selling $1200 worth of bats and gloves that week.
