:
The total Vests equation
S + M + L = 96
:
Write an equation for the statement:
" the number of vests made daily in the small and large sizes combined is equal to the number of vests made daily in the meduim size,"
S + L = M
:
Replace S + L with M in the totals equation:
M + M = 96
2M = 96
M = 48, which is what you got
