For every good jumpsuit that Dylan sold, Dylan earned $16. He sold defective jumpsuits at a discount, which would cause him to lose $2 per defective jumpsuit. In April, for every 22 jumpsuits sold, 4 were defective. Dylan earned $1960 from the jumpsuits sold.
- How many less jumpsuits sold were defective than good?
- How much less money did he earn because of the defective jumpsuits?

(a)
Amount that Dylan earned
= 288 u - 8 u
= 280 u
280 u = 1960
1 u = 1960 ÷ 280 = 7
Number of less jumpsuits sold that were defective than good
= 18 u - 4 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 7
= 98
(b)
Number of defective jumpsuits
= 4 u
= 4 x 7
= 28
Less amount earned for one defective jacket
= 16 + 2
= $18
Less amount earned because of all the defective jumpsuits
= 28 x 18
= $504
Answer(s): (a) 98; (b) $504
