Question

Katya sold

46 books at £1.40 each
32 bracelets at £1.50 each
some badges at 90p each
She got a total of £134
Work out how many badges Katya sold.

Answer 1

This is a math problem. To solve it, you need to use algebra. Let me show you how.

Let x be the number of badges Katya sold. Then we can write an equation using the given information:

46 × 1.40 + 32 × 1.50 + 0.90 × x = 134

Simplifying the equation, we get:

64.4 + 48 + 0.9x = 134

Subtracting 64.4 and 48 from both sides, we get:

0.9x = 21.6

Dividing both sides by 0.9, we get:

x = 24

Therefore, Katya sold 24 badges.
