Bly makes fleece scarves and sells them for $11 each. the supplies cost her $5 per scarf. last month, bly had a profit of $139. bly made 7 more scarves than she sold. how many scarves did bly sell last month

Bly sold 29 scarves last month

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of scarves sold

Bly made 7 more scarves than she sold

Then, number of scarves made = x + 7

Bly makes fleece scarves and sells them for $11 each

Thus for selling "x" scraves , he will get 11x dollars

Total sales revenue = 11x

number of scarves made = x + 7

The supplies cost her $5 per scarf

Therefore, cost for scarves made = 5(x + 7)

Therefore,

profit = Total sales revenue - cost for scarves made

profit = 11x - 5(x + 7)

profit = 11x - 5x - 35

profit = 6x - 35

Last month, Bly had a profit of $139

139 = 6x - 35

6x = 174

x = 29

Thus Bly sold 29 scarves last month
