Question

The booster club recently bought new baseball equipment. They spent $18 per glove and $24 dollars per catching mask and spent a total of $612. If they bought 8 more masks than gloves, how many of each did they buy? Write the system of equation and solve. PLEASE GIVE FULL WORK 100 POINTS

Answer 1

given below

Explanation:

let the number of gloves be y

then number of masks is y + 8

therefore a equation can be formed:

18(y) + 24(y + 8) = $612

18y+24y+192=612

42y=420

y=$10

each glove cost $10

therefore each masks cost $18
