If Sears Roebuck sells six times as many batteries as Firestone, and their difference in

sales is 250,000 batteries, how many batteries did each sell?

  • Let Firestone sells x
  • Roebuck sells 6x

AtQ


\\ \sf\longmapsto x+6x=250000


\\ \sf\longmapsto 7x=250000


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=(250000)/(7)


\\ \sf\longmapsto x\approx 35714
