Answer:
31 Supreme tires were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one Supreme tire = $45
Cost of one Prestige tire = $56
Total sales = $2008
Let x represent quantity of supreme tyre
Let y represent quantity of Prestige tyre
So, the equation will be:
[tex]45x+56y=2008[/tex]
11 Prestige tires were sold, write and solve a linear equation to find the number of Supreme tires sold.
So, we are given y= 11 and we need to find value of x using above equation
[tex]45x+56y=2008\\45x+56(11)=2008\\45x+616=2008\\45x=2008-616\\45x=1392\\x=\frac{1392}{45}\\x=30.933\\ x\approx31[/tex]
So, 31 Supreme tires were sold.
