For a certain year, the combined revenues for PepsiCo and Coca-Cola were $47 billion. If the revenue for PepsiCo was $11 billion more than Coca-Cola, how much was the revenue of each company.

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the revenue for PepsiCo in billions of dollars, then 'x-11' represents the revenue for Coca-Cola


47 = x + x-11

58 = 2x

x = 29


29-11 = 18


the revenue for PepsiCo was $29 billion, the revenue for Coca-Cola was $18 billion
