Question 907195: the thre most popular travel destinations, USA has 9 million more visitors than France, and China has 44 million more vistors than France. If the total number of tourisits in these three countries is 332 million, how many visited each country?
Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
U = F + 9
C = F + 44
U + C + F = 332
Take the known values of U and C from the equations above and put them into the bottom equation.
U + C + F = 332
(F+9) + (F+44) + F = 332
Add
3F + 53 = 332
Subtract 53 from each side
3F = 279
Divide each side by 3
F = 93
If F is 93, the U is 102 and C is 137
93 + 102 + 137 = 332
France = 93 million, USA = 102 million, China = 137 million
