Hey there,
Let's say that the first piece is x cm
1st = x
2nd = x + 25%
3rd = x - 25%
100% = 240 cm
1% = 240 / 100
      = 2.4cm
x + x + 25 + x - 25 = 100
3x + 25 - 25 = 100
3x = 100 - 25 + 25
3x = 100
3x = 240 cm
x = 240 / 3
   = 80 cm
1st piece = 80 cm
2nd piece = 80 + (25% x 80)
                = 80 + 20
                = 100cm
3rd piece = 80 cm - (25% x 80)
                = 80 cm - 20
                = 60cm

Hope this helps :))

At a baseball game, a vender sold a combined total of 170 sodas and hot dogs. the number of hot dogs sold was 50 less than the n
Juliette [100K]

Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.


x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)

x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)


We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.

x+y=170

Sub in the value of y from the second equation

x+(x-50)=170

2x-50=170

2x=220

x=110


We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.

x+y=170

110+y=170

y=60


So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
