Requests for scooters were

exceptionally high this
Christmas season. Santa
counted one more than triple
the number of bikes as
scooters. If there were a
total of 1809 bikes and
scooters altogether, how
many scooters were
requested this year ?​

Let x be the number of scooters.

x + (3x+1) = 1809-1

x = 1808 divide 4 = 452 scooters.

Hope this is correct
