The total size downloaded for the two versions was 6188 MB. How many downloads of the standard version were there?​

Answer 1

Answer:

280 downloads

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x denote the number of standard version downloads.

-Given that the high-quality version was downloaded four times as often as the standard version it is denoted as 4x

-This can then be expressed as:

$x(2.9)+4x(4.8)=6188\\\\2.9x+19.2x=6188\\\\22.10x=6188\\\\x=280$

Hence, the number of standard version downloads is 280
