Marvin Co. sells pens ($6) and flashlights ($10). If total sales were $624 and customers bought 7 times as many pens as flashlight, what would be the number of pens sold?

Question

the total sales is the total of the money brought in by each items sale. So use the equation 624= 7x($6) + x ($10) and solve for x
