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
