284 items and they notice that they've sold 3 times as many cookies as they did oranges. How many of each item did they sell?

i need step-by-step explanation please

Answer 1

71 oranges & 213 cookies

Explanation:

If there was 3 times cookies than oranges so its can be divided into 4 so 284 divide by four is 71

71x3 is 213 and 213 divided by 3 is 71 and 71 plus 213 is 284
