Question

the band members sold 316 juice drinks for a fundraiser. they sold 52 more grape drinks than strawberry drinks. how many of each type of juice drink did they sell?

Answer 1

S+g=316  "s"=strawberry "g"=grape
g=52+s

plug in for "g" to find "s"
s+(52+s)=316
2s+52=316
2s=316-52
2s=264
s=264/2
s=132

find "g" 
g=52+132
g=184

Answer 2

132 strawberry drinks and 284 grape drinks.
