A new cruise ship line has just launched 3 new ships: the Pacific Paradise, the Caribbean Paradise, and the Mediterranean Paradise.
:
let p = The no. of deluxe staterooms the Pacific Paradise has
:
The Caribbean Paradise has 12 more deluxe staterooms than the Pacific Paradise.
(p+12) = no. or rooms the Caribbean Paradise has
:
The Mediterranean Paradise has 13 fewer deluxe staterooms than three times the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise.
(3p-13) = no. rooms Mediterranean Paradise has
:
Find the number of deluxe staterooms for each of the ships if the total number of deluxe staterooms for the three ships is 909.
:
p + (p+12) + (3p-13) = 909
5p - 1 = 909
5p = 910
p = 910/5
p = 182 deluxe staterooms in the Pacific Paradise
then
182 + 12 = 194 in the Caribbean Paradise
and
3(182) - 13 = 533 in the Mediterranean Paradise
:
:
182 + 194 + 533 = 909
