Question

2. Bart sold 5 more than 3 times as many refrigerators last month than the number of

refrigerators sold by Bill. If together they sold 125 refrigerators last month, how many did
each person sell?

Answer 1

Bart 95 bill 30

Explanation:

Bill=b

Bart = (3b+5)

b+ (3b+5) = 125

4b=120

b=30 Bill sold 30 refrigerators

3(30)+5 = 95 (Bart sold 95 refrigerators)

95+30=125
