than for snowboarding. Together, total equipment sales for these two sports were
$925 million. What were equipment sales for each sport? Solve using a system and
define all variables.

Respuesta :

The consumer sales of the equipment of snowboarding are x = $282 million and the sales of snow skiing equipment are $846 million.

The sales of sports equipment for snow skiing are $361 million more than for snowboarding.

The total sales for the equipment of the two sports are $925 million.

Let the consumer sales for snowboarding equipment be x.

Then the sales of snow skiing will be x + $361 million.

As the total equipment sales are $925 million.

So,

x + x + 361 million = 925 million

2x + $361 million = 925

2x = $925 million - $361 million

2x = $564 million

Dividing each side of the equation by 2,

x = $282 million.

Therefore, the total sales of snow skiing equipment will be:

= x + $282 million = $564 million + $282 million

= $846 million
