Answer:

Television = 820

DVD Player = 410

Step-by-step explanation: Imagine the television as 2, and the DVD player as 1. If you’re were to draw it out with boxes, you’d see that the tv has two boxes and the DVD player has 1 box. All are exactly the same amount, and there are a total of three boxes. So divided 1230 by 3 and you get 410. Using the idea of the boxes, the DVD player get’s one 410, and the tv gets two 410s, or 820.
