Question

A sporting goods store brought in some new mountain bikes that cost $1,200 each and kayaks that cost $800 each. A total of 32 of these items were acquired , for $30,400 . How many new mountain bikes did the store bring in ? ASAP HELP!

Answer 1

12 mountain bikes

Explanation:

1200m+800k=30400

m+k=32

k=32-m

Now solving with substitution we get:

1200m+800(32-m)=30400

1200m+25600-800m=30400

400m=4800

m=12
