Answer:The number of days it will take to sell the same amount of cookies is 3 and the number of tubs that will be sold is 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of days it will take either of them to sell the same number of tubs.
Let y represent the total number of tubs that that Joseph will sell in x days.
Let z represent the total number of tubs that that Dwayne will sell in x days.
Joseph has already sold 3 tubs. If Joseph starts selling 8 tubs per day, it means that in x days, the number of tubs that he will sell will be
y = 8x + 3
Dwayne hasn't sold any yet. If Dwayne begins selling 9 tubs per day, it means that in x days, the number of tubs that he will sell will be
z = 9x
To determine the number of days it will take to sell the same amount of cookies, we will equate y to z. It becomes
8x + 3 = 9x
9x - 8x = 3
x = 3
The number of tubs that each will sell will be 9x = 9×3 = 27
Create a system of equations
x + y = 123
5x + y = 343
I use substitution
y = 123 - x
5x + 123 - x = 343
4x + 123 = 343
4x = 220
x = 55
Plug in
x + y = 123
55 + y = 123
y = 68
Check
5x + y = 343
5(55) + 68 = 343
275 + 68 = 343
343 = 343
