Question

Your MP3 Player contains a total of 374 pop, rock, and country songs in a playlist. The number of pop songs is four times the number of rock songs. The number of country songs is 32 more than the number of rock songs. How many of each type of songs does the playlist contain???

Answer 1

57 rock songs

228 pop songs

89 country songs

Explanation:

Total number of songs in the Playlist = 374 .

Let number of rock songs = x.

Then according to the question ,

number of pop songs = 4x

number of country songs = x + 32

So,

x + 4x + x + 32 = 374 (As total number of songs Equals 374)

6x = 342

x = 57.

Now, number of rock songs = x = 57.

number of pop songs = 4x = 228

number of country songs = x + 32 = 89.
