Question

ABC Bookstore sells new books, n, for $12, and used books, u, for $8. The
store earned $112 revenue last month. The store sold 4 more used books
than new books. Which system of equations represents this scenario?
O A. 8n+ 12u= 112; u= n +4
O B. 8n + 12u=112; U= n- 4
OC. 12n+8u=112; u=n+4
O D. 12n + 8u= 112; u = n-4

Answer 1

Answer:

D.) $12n + $8u = 112 ;u = 4 + n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost per new books (n) = $12

Cost per used book (u) = $8

Total revenue earned = $112

store sold 4 more used books than new books

Hence,

Total revenue should be :

Revenue from new books + Revenue from used book = total revenue

Revenue from new books = $12 * n = $12n

Revenue from used books = $8 * n = $8n

$12n + $8u = 112

Number of books sold :

Number of used books sold = 4 + number of new books sold

u = 4 + n
