Question

You sell instruments at a Caribbean music festival. You earn $326 by selling 12 sets of maracas, 6 sets of ​claves, and x djembe drums. Find the number of djembe drums you sold

Answer 1

First, it is important to know the prices of each of the instruments in order to determine the number of djembe drums you had sold. Since it is not given here. I will give a general equation where you just substitute the prices. It would be as follows:

326 = 12x + 6(y) + (xx)z

where x is the price for a set of maracas

y is the price for a set of claves

xx is number of djembe drums sold

z is the prices for each djembe drum

Hope this helps. Have a nice da

Answer 2

(14*12)+(5*6)+16x

Explanation:

First, you get the price of every instrument.

(Shown in the picture)

Maracas: $14

Claves: $5

Djembe Drums: $16

Then multiply the price to how many instruments you sold.

14*12 (Maracas)

5*6 (Claves)

You don't know what how many djembe drums you sold, so put an x right next to 16.

To get the total of $326 in that equation, you do: (14*12)+(5*6)+16x.

I hope it helps.
