Question

On Wednesday and Thursday a total of 36 vinyl records were sold.

The number of records sold on Thursday was 8 times the number of records sold on

Wednesday.

Answer 1

8 records were sold Wednesday and 24 were sold on Thursday

Answer 2

8 records were sold on Wednesday, and 24 records were sold on Thursday

Explanation:

Let's call the number of records sold on Wednesday w, and the number sold on Thursday t.

t+w=32

t=3w

Substituting:

(3w)+w=32

4w=32

w=8

t=3w=3(8)=24

Hope this helps!
