Question

A new club sent out 252 coupons to boost sales for next years memberships. They provided 6 times as many potential members than existing members. How many coupons did they sent to existing members?

Answer 1

36 coupons.

Explanation:

Let x represent number of coupons provided to existing members.

We have been given that a new club provided 6 times as many potential members than existing members. So coupons provided to potential members would be
`6x`.

We are also told that the club out 252 coupons to boost sales for next years memberships. So total number of coupons should be equal to 252.

`x+6x=252`

`7x=252`

`(7x)/(7)=(252)/(7)`

`x=36`

Therefore, 36 coupons were sent to existing members.
