Question

9. A vendor is selling Coke and Sprite. He sold three times as many Cokes as Sprites. If

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of sprites old   =  19

The number of cokes sold   = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number of sprites sold = m

So, the number of cokes sold =  3  times (Number of sprites) =3 x (m) = 3 m

Also, the total number of sodas sold  = 76

⇒ The number of (Sprites + coke) sold = 76

or, m +  3  m = 76

⇒ 4  m = 76

⇒ m = 76 / 4 = 1 9

or, m = 19

Hence the number of sprites old  = m = 19

And the number of cokes sold  =  3 m = 3  x 19 = 57
