Gavin earns a $12 commission for every phone he sells and a $3.50 commission for every accessory he sells. On a given day, Gavin made a total of $135 in commission and sold 12 more accessories than phones. Determine the number of phones sold and the number of accessories sold.

There were
____phones sold and
____ accessories sold.

Answer 1

6 phones and 18 accessories

Explanation:

12P + 3.50A = 135

A = 12 + P

12P + 3.50(12 + P) = 135,

12P + 42 +3.50P = 135

15.50P = 93

P = 6 phones

A = 12 + 6 = 18 accessories
