Solving a system of equations we can see that he repaired 15 of the fiberglass bathroom sinks and 8 of the fiberglass tub enclosures

How many of each type of repair did he make?

Let's define the two variables:

x = number of fiberglass bathrooms repaired.

y = number of fiberglass tub enclosures repaired.

Then we can write the system of equations:

x + y = 23

x*$12 + y*$59 = $652

Isolating x on the first one, we get:

x = 23 - y

Replacing that in the other equation:

(23 - y)*$12 + y*$59 = $652

23*$12 + y*($59 - $12) = $652

23*$12 + y*$47 = $652

y = ($652 - 23*$12)/$47 = 8

Then:

x = 23 - y = 23 - 8 = 15

So, he repaired 15 of the fiberglass bathroom sinks and 8 of the fiberglass tub enclosures
