Question

At a certain toy store, tiny stuffed zebras cost $3 and giant stuffed zebras cost $14. The store doesn't sell any

other sizes of stufed zebras. If the store sold 29 stuffed zebras and made $208 in revenue in one week, how
many tiny stuffed zebras were sold?

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

tiny stuffed zebras(tsz)= $3

giant stuffed zebras(gsz)=$14

total sold=$208

208÷3=69.3recurring so that's incorrect as you cannot sell .3 of a zebra so keep going until you find the next whole number. (trial and error)

207÷3=69 but it cant be this as it is not the whole money made

208-14=194

194÷3=64.6recurring (cannot be this)

194-14=180

180÷3= 60 = answer as 60 tsz is $180 and add that to 2 gsz and that totals to 208 which is the total
