Question 1144648
.


If you are a beginner in solving such problems (word mixture problems), then ignore the post by @josgarithmetic.


If you are a school Math teacher, teaching school Math students,  who are beginners in solving such problems, 
then the same recommendation works :  ignore the post by @josgarithmetic.


If you are just advanced person in solving such problems and in Algebra, in general,  then you may use his post.


But I can hardly imagine a person,  who just knows this subject and comes to this forum for help.


So,  I firmly believe that the set of visitors of this forum,  to whom his writing might be useful,  is  EMPTY.



Follow the solution by the tutor @josmiceli.


It is totally adequate for beginners.
