Abby delivers twice as many papers as Jullian, and Brandy delivers 50 more papers than Abbey. How many papers does each deliver if the total number of papers delivered is 550?
sol :
let x = no of papers jullian delivers
given is , abby = 2 * no of jullian's = 2x
brandy = 50 + abby's = 50 + 2x
total number of papers delivered is 550 :
x + 2x + 50 + 2x = 550
i.e., abby + Jullian + brandy = 550
solving you get x = 100
so jullian = 100
abby = 200
brandy = 250
