Question

a store ordered 750 candles a total wholesale cost of $7910.20. The soy candles cosy $12.17 each and the
specialty candles cost $9.58
each. How many of each were bought?

Answer 1

s= soy
so= specialty

s + sc = 750
9.58s + 12.17sc= 7910.20

9.58s-9.58sc= -7185
9.58s + 12.17sc =7910.20

2.59sc = 752.20

sc= 280 specialty candles

s + 280= 750

s = 470 soy candles
