Amusic store sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets in one month. trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99. if total sales were $3233, how many clarinets did they sell

The number of clarinets musical store sold was 16. and number of trumpets musical store sold was 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the musical store sells 'x' number of trumpets and 'y' number of clarinets.

According to question,

Total number of  trumpets and clarinets sold is 27 that is

..............(1)

Also given Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99.

then the shop sold x trumpets for $149x and sold y clarinets for $99y and total sales were $3233.

thus,  ...........(2)

Solving for equation (1) and (2),

Multiply equation (1) by 149 , we get

(1) ⇒  ........(3)

Now, subtract equation (3) from equation (2) , we get

Thus, number of clarinets musical store sold was 15.8 but since clarinets are to be in whole number rounding off to the nearest integer 16.

and put y = 16 in (1) , we get

Thus, number of trumpets musical store sold was 11.

okay so 15.15 *()5: +5/6
