Problema Solution
A new cruise ship line has just launched 3 new ships, the Pacific, Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. The Caribbean has 20 more deluxe staterooms than the Pacific. The Mediterranean has 37 fewer deluxe rooms than than three times the number of the deluxe staterooms on the Pacific. Find the number of staterooms for each ship if the total number of staterooms for the three ships is 883.
Answer provided by our tutors
let us denote P for pacific and C and M for others.
atts: C = 20 +P
M = 3P - 37
and M+ P+ C = 883
solving we get: c=200
p=180
and m = 503
