Problema Solution
Sally makes $200 per week. Before Sue had her pay tripled, Sally made twice as much as Sue. How much does Sue now make per week?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = original payment of Sue
3x = tripled payment of Sue
2x = 200 divide both sides by 2
x = 200/2
x = $100
3x = 3*100 = $300
Sue earns $300 per week now.
