Know the Answer?

Giana Porter · Answer 1

12c+19t=e

C = cost per clarinet

T = cost per trumpet

E = total money earned

Ariella Lewis · Answer 2

12t + 19c

where t = selling price of trumpets and

c = selling price of clarinet

Explanation:

Let t be the selling price per unit for trumpets and c be the selling price per unit for clarinet.

Given that the music store sold 12 trumpets and 19 clarinets

Therefore,

Money earned from sale of trumpets = 12t

Money earned from sale of clarinets = 19c

Total amount earned last month = 12t + 19c
