Sally is selling two types of seashells by the seashore. She is selling large and small shells. She sells small shells for 2 dollars each and large shells for 5 dollars each. She sold a combined 15 shells for total of 60 dollars. How many of each type of shell did she sell? Show your work.
A - 5 small shells and 10 large shells
B - 10 small shells and 5 large shells
C - 7 small shells and 8 large shells
D - 8 small shells and 7 large shells
A. 5 small shells and 10 large shells because, of each of the small shells are 2 dollars then 5*2 would be 10 and each of the large shells is 5 then 10*5 would be 50 and 50+10 is 60 I hope this helps you
