Question 264935: If Dixi has x amount of ice-creams, Cena has 10 more than Dixi, Malida has half as many as Dixi, together they have a total of 50 ice-creams. How many ice-creams does Dixi have? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If Dixi has x amount of ice-creams,
Cena has 10 more than Dixi,
c = x + 10
:
Malida has half as many as Dixi,
m = .5x
:
together they have a total of 50 ice-creams.
x + (x+10) + .5x = 50
2.5x = 50 - 10
x =
x = 16 ice creams for Dixi
:
Check: 16 + 26 + 8 = 50
