Question

Rainbow bread company delivered a total of 180 loaves of bread to three markets. Savemart received 12 more loaves than vons. Ralph's received 6 more loaves than savemart. Find the number of loaves delivered to each market

Answer 1

Let vons market receive x  loaves. Then savemart received x+12 loaves and Ralphs received x + 12 + 6 = x + 18 loaves, Therefore:-

x + x + 12 + x + 18 = 180

3x + 30 = 180

3x = 150

x = 150/3 = 50  

So vons received 50, savemart received 62 and ralph's received 68 loves.  Answer
