a cell phone store sells the basic model of a phone for $30 and the upgraded model for $100 when a customer signs a two-year agreement. on tuesday, the store has $900 in sales. the store pays $5 for each basic model and $25 for each upgraded model. if the cost of the cell phones sold on tuesday is $200, how many upgraded models were sold?

Respuesta :

30b + 100u = 900
5b + 25u = 200....multiply by -6
------------------
30b + 100u = 900
-30b - 150u = - 1200 (result of multiplying by -6)
------------------add
-50u = - 300
u = 6 <== upgrated phones sold

30b + 100u = 900
30b + 100(6) = 900
30b + 600 = 900
30b = 900 - 600
30b = 300
b = 10 <== basic phones sold
