A dealer sold 200 tennis racquets. Some were sold at $18 each and others were sold at $33 each. The total sales were 4,800. How many of each priced racquet was sold?
Explain your answer.

Answer :

Let x = number that sell for $18 each
Then, 200 - x = number that sell for $33 each

18x + 33(200 - x) = 4800

18x + 6600 - 33x = 4800

-15x = -1800

x = 120

There were 120 racquets selling for $18 each and 80 racquets selling for $33 each.
