Answer 1

11 were sold. You do revenue 528 divided by cost of that glove (48) equals 11.

Answer 2

8 Right handed gloves and 4 left handed gloves.

Explanation:

Assumed the number of right handed gloves sold was x and the number of left handed gloves sold was y.

Given that 12 gloves were sold:

x + y = 12

x = 12 - y

Given that the total revenue made was 528:

48x + 36y = 528

Substitute x = 12 - y into 48x + 36y = 528:

48(12 - y) + 36y = 528

576 - 48y + 36y = 528

-12y = -48

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into x = 12 - y:

x = 12 - 4 = 8

8 Right handed gloves and 4 left handed gloves.
