A store sells white scarves and red scarves . A white scarf is $3 and a red scarf is $5. One day the store sold 12 scarves for $50. What is the total number of scarves sold on that day?

7 red scarves and 5 white scarves were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

set up 2 equations where x represents white scarves and y represents red scarves

equation 1: 3x + 5y = 50

equation 2: x + y = 12

change equation 2 to x = 12 - y

substitute x into equation 1: 3(12 - y) + 5y = 50

distribute: 36 - 3y + 5y = 50

2y = 14

y = 7

substitute y back into one of the original equations

x + (7) = 12

subtract 7 from both sides to find x

x = 5

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

step-by-step explanation:

there would only be 50 odd numbers between 1 and 100 so therefor there would be 50 even so that would only be 50 odd numbers.
