The cost of item a is $8 and the
cost of item b is $4. you sold a
combined total of 13 of these items
and made $88. how much of each
item did you sell?

the number of item A that you sold is 11

the number of item B that you sold is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of item A that you sold.

Let y represent the number of item B that you sold.

The total number of item A and item B sold is 13. This means that

x + y = 13

The cost of item A is $8 and the

cost of item B is $4. The total amount if money made is $88. This means that

8x + 4y = 88 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes

8(13 - y) + 4y = 88

104 - 8y = 88

8y = 104 - 88 = 16

y = 16/8 = 2

x = 13 - y = 13 - 2 = 11

y = 0.77(x)

step-by-step explanation:

the jacket retains this value after 23% cut or retains 77% of original value. plug original 87 jacket price for x and the remaining value should be y.
