Nora sold $2328 worth of blouses and jumpsuits. She earned $472 less on the jumpsuits than the blouses. Each jumpsuit is sold for $4 more than each blouse. The number of jumpsuits sold was ⁴₇ of the number of blouses sold.

1. How much did Nora earn from the sales of the blouses?
2. How many jumpsuits were sold?

(a)
Amount that Nora earned from the sales of the blouses
= (2328 + 472) ÷ 2
= 2800 ÷ 2
= $1400 

(b)
Amount that Nora earned from the sales of the jumpsuits
= 1400 - 472
= $928

Number of sets of jumpsuits sold = 4  
Number of sets of blouses sold = 7

Cost of 1 set of jumpsuits sold
= 928 ÷ 4
= $232

Cost of 1 set of blouses sold
= 1400 ÷ 7
= $200

Amount that 1 set of jumpsuits was more than 1 set of blouses 
= 232 - 200
= $32

Number of items in 1 set
= 32 ÷ 4
= 8

Number of jumpsuits sold
= 4 x 8
= 32

Answer(s): (a) $1400 ; (b) 32
