Problema Solution
Together Steve and tom sold 91 raffle tickets for their school. Steve sold 16 more than 2 as many raffle tickets as Tom. How many raffle tickets did each boy sell?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of raffle tickets solve by Tom, then '2x+16' represents the number sold by Steve
91 = x + 2x+16
3x = 91-16
x = 75/3 = 25
2* 25 + 16 = 66
Tom sold 25 tickets, Steve sold 66 tickets
