Peter delievers 110 newspapers on the weekend. He delivers 20 more papers on Sunday than on Saturday. How many papers does he deliver each day? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Peter delivers 110 newspapers on the weekend. He delivers 20 more papers on Sunday than on Saturday. How many papers does he deliver each day?
-----------------------------
Let number delivered on Saturday be "x".
Then number delivered on Sunday is "x+20".
-----------------
Equation:
x + x+20 = 110
2x + 20 = 110
2x = 90
x = 45 (# he delivers on Saturday)
x+20 = 65 (# he delivers on Sunday)
