Question

for a service call. The total dollar amount of the invoices was $9,450.
How many installations and service calls did the company perform?

Answer 1

Answer:

14 installatons

42 service calls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = no. of new installations

      y = no. of service calls

(1)    x + y = 56           (2)    450x + 75y = 9450

            y = 56 - x               450x + 75(56 - x) = 9450

                                           450x + 4200 - 75x = 9450

                                            375x = 5250

                                                   x = 14 installatons

             y = 56 - 14 = 42 service calls
