Question 363881: 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 13 more deluxe staterooms than the Pacific Paradise. The Mediterranean Paradise has 23 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 three ships is 752. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
Let x represent the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise.
Then (x + 13)staterooms will be on The Caribbean Paradise and (4x-23) on the Mediterranean Paradise
total number of deluxe staterooms for three ships is 752.
x + (x+13) + (4x-23) = 752
solve for x
6x = 762
x = 127, the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise.
Will leave it up to you to finish and check your answers.
The Caribbean Paradise?
Mediterranean Paradise?
Total is 752
