A total of 48 students will not go to college
Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
[1], [3] => a = 49,000/2 = 24,500 => b +c = 24,500 => c = 24,500 - b;
[2] => 25*24,500 + 20b + 15c = 1,052,000 => 20b + 15c = 1,027,500;
20b + 15*(24,500 - b) = 1,027,500 => 5b = 733,500 => b = 146,700 =>
c = - 122,200;
