Question

Bill's Roast Beef sells 5 times as many sandwiches as Pete's Deli. The difference between their sales is 360 sandwiches. How Many did each sell ?

Answer 1

5y-y =360

4y =360

y= 90 sandwiches by Pete's deli

x= 5(90) = 450 sandwiches by Bills Roast Beef

Explanation:

Answer 2

b - p = 360
b = 5p

5p - p = 360
4p = 360
p = 360/4
p = 90 <== Pete's deli

b = 5p
b = 5(90)
b = 450 <== Bill's Roast Beef
