For every good windbreaker that Perry sold, Perry earned $23. He sold defective windbreakers at a discount, which would cause him to lose $3 per defective windbreaker. In September, for every 27 windbreakers sold, 8 were defective. Perry earned $2065 from the windbreakers sold.

1. How many less windbreakers sold were defective than good?
2. How much less money did he earn because of the defective windbreakers?

	Good	Defective	Total
Number	19 u	8 u
Value	+ 23	- 3
Total Value	437 u	- 24 u	$2065

(a)
Amount that Perry earned 
= 437 u - 24 u
= 413 u

413 u = 2065

1 u = 2065 ÷ 413 = 5

Number of less windbreakers sold that were defective than good
= 19 u - 8 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 5
= 55

(b)
Number of defective windbreakers
= 8 u
= 8 x 5
= 40

Less amount earned for one defective jacket
= 23 + 3
= $26

Less amount earned because of all the defective windbreakers
= 40 x 26
= $1040

Answer(s): (a) 55; (b) $1040
