Question

Micro Knowledge sells 5 times as many computers as Morse Electronics. The difference in sales between the two stores is 20 computers. How many computers did each store sell?

Answer 1

Morse electronics sells 5 computers

Micro knowledge sells 25 computers

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the morse electronics computer be x

So the micro knowledge computers be 5x

And, the difference between them is 20

Now the equation is

5 x - x = 20

4x = 20

x = 5

Hence, the morse electronics sells 5 computers

While on the other hand the micro knowledge sells

= 5 × 5

= 25 computers
