Problema Solution
Tires sell for $150 each and rims sell for $200. Three times as many tires were sold than rims. Total sales $3,250. How many of each were sold. What were the total sales in dollars for each.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of rims sold, then '3x' represents the number of tires sold
3250=200x+150(3x)
x=5
3*5=15
5*200=1000
15*150=2250
There were 5 rims ($1,000) and 15 tires ($2,250) sold.
