Question

Miranda sold movie DVD’s for $12 and television DVD’s for $9 and has collected $1167 from the sales of both. The number of movies sold is 4 less than 3 times the number of television shows. How many movie DVD’s were sold, and how many television DVD’s were sold?

Answer 1

number of be television be 27 and the number of movies would be 50

Explanation:

The computation of the number of DVD sold and the number of television sold is shown below:

Let us assume the number of television be x

So, the number of movies would be (3x - 4)

Now according to the question the following equation is made

12(3x - 4) + 9x = $1167

36x - 48 + 9x = $1,167

45x = $1,215

x = 27

So, the number of be television be 27

And, the number of movies would be

= (3x - 4)

= 3(27) - 4

= 50
