We can let x be the number of boxes sold for the first week. We can as well express the number of boxes for the second and third week through x using the statements provided.

Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:

first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)

Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have

x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104

We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218

Answer: 
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218

Emily, Carl and Antony altogether has 121 stamps. How many stamps doeas each of them have, if it is known, that Emily has 40% mo
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, put together the information we have. Total = 121. Emily has 40% more than Carl, and Carl has 60% more than Antony.

2. Next, set each person as a variable. Antony = x. Carl = 1.6x. Emily = 1.4 times 1.6x.

3. Next, form an equation using these variables.

    x + 1.6x + (1.4 x 1.6x) = 121

    x + 1.6x + 2.24x = 121

    4.84x = 121

    x = 25

4. Finally, plug in x to our previous variables in step #2 to find the number of stamps Emily and Carl have.

<u>Antony</u>: x = 25 stamps

<u>Carl:</u> 1.6x = 40 stamps

<u>Emily</u>: 1.4 times 1.6x = 56 stamps

By the way, is this for RSM? If so, I am working on that problem right now and I searched up the solution but couldn't find it, so I stumbled upon this. I hope this helped!
