A garden supply store sells two types of lawn mowers.Total sales of mowers for the year were $8379.79. The total number of mowers sold was 30. The small mower costs $249.99. The large mower costs $329.99. Find the number of large mowers sold.

If all 30 mowers were small, sales would be 30 × $249.99 = $7,499.70. Each large mower adds $80.00, so the stated total implies ($8,379.79 − $7,499.70) ÷ $80.00 ≈ 11. The intended answer is 11 large mowers, choice A. Note that the given total is 9 cents higher than the total for exactly 11 large mowers ($8,379.70), so the sales figure appears to contain a small error.
