Question 685915: malcolm paid an average of $33 per tie for a recent purchase of three ties. The price of one tie was twice as much as another, and the remaining tie cost $24. What were the prices of the other two ties? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3*33=99
x+2x+24=99
3x=99-24
3x=75
x=75/3
x=$25 cost of the second tire
2*25 =$50 cost of the third tire.
Proof:
25+50+24=99
99=99
