Problema Solution

Julius sold five times as many computers as Sam. Together they sold 78. How many more did Julius sell?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the number of computers sold by Sam, then '5x' represents the number sold by Julius


78 = x + 5x

6x = 78

x = 78/6 = 13


13*5 = 65


Sam sold 13 computers, Julius sold 65 computers
