Question 1034072: Jessie, Kiran, and Matt can process 451 telephone orders per day. Jessie and Kiran together can process 340 orders, while Jessie and Matt together can process 283 orders per day. How many orders can each person process alone?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! J+K+M=451
J+K=340
J+M=283
J=283-M
J=340-K
J=451-K-M
look at the last two
340-K=451-K-M
subtract 451 from both sides, and add K to both sides, cancelling them
-111=-M
M=111
J+M=283
J+111=283
J=172
172+K+111+451
K=168
Jesse-172;Kiran=168;Matt=111
