Answer:
Total number of gift wraps sold = 161
The number of cards sold = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling price of each gift wrap = $4
Selling price of each greeting card = $10
Total packages sold by the shop = 205
Total amount earned = $1084
Now, let the number of gift wraps sold = m
⇒ The cost of m gift wraps = m x Cost of each gift wrap
= m x($4) = 4 m
Also, the number of greetings cards sold = (205 -m)
⇒ The cost of (205-m) greetings cards
= (205-m) x Cost of each greetings cards
=(205-m) x $10 = $2050 - 10 m
According to the question,
Total earned amount =Amount earned from Gift wrap + Greeting cards
or, $1084 = 4 m + ( $2050 -10m)
or, 1084 - 2050 = 4 m -10 m
⇒ -6 m = -966
or, m = 966 / 6 = 161
Hence, the total number of gift wraps sold = m = 161
And, the number of cards sold = 205 - m = 205 - 161 = 44
