Question

A history Club sold rolls of wrapping paper as a fundraiser. The wrapping paper was sold in small rolls and large rolls. The club earned $3 for every small roll sold. The club earned $4.50 for every large roll sold. The club sold 10 more large rolls than small rolls. The club collected $135 more from sales of large rolls than from sales of small rolls. The equation 3 S + 135 = 4.5( s + 10) can be used to represent this situation, where s represents the number of small rose the club sold. How many small roles did the history Club sell?

The club collected $135 a more from sales of large rolls than from sales of small rolls. The equation 3x + 135 = 4.5(s + 10) can be used to represent this situation, where s represents the number of small rolls the club sold. How many small rolls did the history Club sell?

Answer 1

Answer:

hence small rolls 60 and large rolls 70

Step-by-step explanation:

let club sold s small rolls

hence club sold s+10 large  rolls

earning from small roll 3s

earning from large rolls 4.5(s+10)

hence

4.5(s+10) - 3s  = 135

or  4.5(s+10) = 3s +135

3s +135 = 4.5(s+10)

3s +135 = 4.5s +45

4.5s +45 = 3s +135

4.5s -3s = 135-45

1.5s = 90

s = 90/1.5

s= 60

s+10 = 70

hence small rolls 60 and large rolls 70
