Question 1159915: A new cruise ship line has just launched 3 new ships: the Pacific Paradise, the Caribbean Paradise, and the Mediterranean Paradise. The Caribbean Paradise has 30 more deluxe staterooms than the Pacific Paradise. The Mediterranean Paradise has 35 fewer deluxe staterooms than four times the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise. Find the number of deluxe staterooms for each of the ships if the total number of deluxe staterooms for the three ships is 853. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P, C, M--look for the one with the fewest if possible to find--it makes it easier.
P has x staterooms
C has x+30
M has 4x-35
Sum is 853
so 6x-5=853
6x=858
x=143 Pacific
C has 173 Caribbean
M has 537 Mediterranean
