For every good windbreaker that Wesley sold, Wesley earned $18. He sold defective windbreakers at a discount, which would cause him to lose $2 per defective windbreaker. In August, for every 29 windbreakers sold, 5 were defective. Wesley earned $4220 from the windbreakers sold.

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

	Good	Defective	Total
Number	24 u	5 u
Value	+ 18	- 2
Total Value	432 u	- 10 u	$4220

(a)
Amount that Wesley earned 
= 432 u - 10 u
= 422 u

422 u = 4220

1 u = 4220 ÷ 422 = 10

Number of more windbreakers sold that were good than defective
= 24 u - 5 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 10
= 190

(b)
Number of defective windbreakers
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50

Less amount earned for one defective jacket
= 18 + 2
= $20

Less amount earned because of all the defective windbreakers
= 50 x 20
= $1000

Answer(s): (a) 190; (b) $1000
