Question 1103657: Susan, Lamar, and Bob sent a total of
125
text messages during the weekend. Bob sent
4
times as many messages as Susan. Lamar sent
5
more messages than Susan. How many messages did they each send? Answer by ikleyn(52803) (Show Source):
Susan + Lamar + Bob = 125
S + L + B = 125
s + (S+5) + 4S = 125
6S + 5 = 125 ====> 6S = 125 - 5 = 120 ====> S = = 20.
From this point, can you complete the solution on your own ?
