Answer 1

Explanation:

Let us represent

Let the wood bat = w

Let the base ball bats = b

Savelot offers two types of baseballs bats the wood bat sell for 24$ and the metal bats sell for 30 in one day save lots sold 23 base ball bats these recipts for those bats totaled $606 how many of each type of bat was sold

System of Equations

w + b = 23.... Equation 1

b = 23 - w

24w + 30b = 606..... Equation 2

We substitute:30 - w for b

Hence:

24w + 30(23 - w) = 606

24w + 690 - 30w = 606

24w - 30w = 606 - 609

-6w = -84

w = -844/-6

w = 14 wood bats

b = 30 - 14

b = 16 base ball bts
