Answer 1

Given:

Pierre's Pizza and Joe's Burger Palace together had a revenue of 470,000.

Burger Palace took in 90,000 less than Pierre's Pizza.

To find:

How much did each take in.

Solution:

Let Pierre's Pizza take in x.

Burger Palace take in = (x-90000)

Pierre's Pizza and Joe's Burger Palace together had a revenue of 470,000.

`x+(x-90000)=470000`

`2x-90000=470000`

`2x=470000+90000`

`2x=560000`

Divide both sides by 2.

`x=280000`

Pierre's Pizza take in 280,000.

Burger Palace take in = 280,000-90,000 = 190,000

Therefore, Pierre's Pizza take in 280,000 and Burger Palace take in 190,000.
