Question

A new club sent out 252 coupons to boost sales for next years memberships. They provided 6 times as many potential members than existing members. How many coupons did they sent to existing members?

Answer 1

Answer:

36 coupons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of coupons provided to existing members.

We have been given that a new club provided 6 times as many potential members than existing members. So coupons provided to potential members would be $6x$.

We are also told that  the club out 252 coupons to boost sales for next years memberships. So total number of coupons should be equal to 252.

$x+6x=252$

$7x=252$

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{252}{7}$

$x=36$

Therefore, 36 coupons were sent to existing members.
