Mugs sold: 33
Water jugs sold: 27
Mini tote bags sold: 15
Full-size tote bags sold: 12
Step 1
Use the clues to find out the total amount collected for each type of item.
- Mugs: $115.50 (given in clue)
- Mini tote bags: $115.00 - $3.00 = $112.50
- Full-size tote bags: $112.50 + $7.50 = $120.00
- To find the amount collected for the water jugs, find the total collected for the other three items. Then subtract that total from the $476.25 collected.
$115.50 for mugs
112.50 for mini tote bags
+120.00 for full-size tote bags
$348.00 total
$476.25 (from clue)
-348.00 total for mugs, mini tote bags, and full-size tote bags
$128.25 water jugs
Step 2
To find the number of items of each kind sold, divide the total collected by the cost per item. The results are listed in the chart below.

Number of Items Sold |
| Mugs |
$115.50 |
$3.50 |
$115.50 ÷ 3.50 = 33 |
33 |
| Water jugs |

$4.75 |
$128.25 ÷ 4.75 = 27 |
27 |
| Mini tote bags |
$112.50 |
$7.50 |
$112.50 ÷ 7.50 = 15 |
15 |
| Full-size tote bags |
$120.00 |
$10.00 |
$120.00 ÷ 10 = 12 |
