Question

The math club is selling gift wrap for a fundraiser. They sold all 45 rolls of solid wrapping paper at $4 each and rolls of patterned wrapping paper at $5 each. If they made $265, how many rolls of patterned wrapping paper did they sell?

Answer 1

They sold 17 rolls. If 45 were sold at $4 dollars then $4×45= 180 If they made 265 dollars so you have to subtract 180$265-180= 85 dollarsYou know the remainder were sold at $5 dollar and dividing 85÷5= 17
