Question

A bbq stand sold twice as many regular size sandwich as large sandwiches. The regular ones sold for $4 each and the large sold for $5 each. The total sales amount was $585. How many of each kind were sold.

Answer 1

The large sandwiches be 45

And, the small sandwiches be 90

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the large sandwiches be x

And, the small sandwiches be 2x

Now the equation would be

5x + 4(2x) = $585

5x + 8x = $585

13x = $585

x = 45

So, the large sandwiches be 45

And, the small sandwiches be 90
