Question

A booth at the mall sells Insulated

mugs and tumblers. The booth
made $880 by selling 8 mugs and
17 tumblers yesterday. If the price
of a tumbler is $15 more than the
price of a mug, what is the price of
each item?

Answer 1

25 (price of 1 mug)

40 ( price of 1 tumbler)

Explanation:

15 x 17 = 255

880 - 255 = 625

625 ÷ (17+8) = 25 (price of 1 mug)

25+15 = 40 ( price of 1 tumbler)
