Given information:
Number of customers = 135
Number of papers sold (Daily Times) = 27
To find:
Number of papers sold (Observer)
Number of papers sold (New Nigeria)
Since the newspaper vendor sells three different papers, we can assume that each customer buys only one paper.
SOLUTION:
Step 1: Determine the number of customers buying the Daily Times.
Number of customers buying the Daily Times = 27
Step 2: Calculate the remaining customers who did not buy the Daily Times.
Remaining customers = Total customers - Customers buying the Daily Times
Remaining customers = 135 - 27
Remaining customers = 108
Step 3: Distribute the remaining customers among the Observer and New Nigeria papers.
Since the problem does not provide any specific information about the distribution of customers among the Observer and New Nigeria papers, we can assume an equal distribution.
Number of customers buying the Observer = Remaining customers / Number of papers (excluding the Daily Times)
Number of customers buying the Observer = 108 / 2
Number of customers buying the Observer = 54
Number of customers buying the New Nigeria = Remaining customers / Number of papers (excluding the Daily Times)
Number of customers buying the New Nigeria = 108 / 2
Number of customers buying the New Nigeria = 54
Therefore, the solution to the math problem is as follows:
Number of customers buying the Daily Times = 27
Number of customers buying the Observer = 54
Number of customers buying the New Nigeria = 54
