Question

An apartment building contains 250 apartments. There are 50 more 2-bedroom apartments than 1-bedroom apartments. How many apartments of each type are there

Answer 1

100

Explanation:

Answer 2

100 1- bedroom and 150 2- bedroom

Explanation:

let x be the number of 1- bedroom apartments , then

x + 50 is the number of 2- bedroom apartments , so

x + x + 50 = 250 ( subtract 50 from both sides )

2x = 200 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 100

There are 100 1- bedroom apartments and 100 + 50 = 150 2- bedroom
