Number of phone calls the third evening: 0

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 110

Let calls on third evening = x

second evening = 4x

first evening = x + 8

=> x + 4x + x + 8 = 110

=> 6x = 102

=> x = 17

First evening = x = 17 calls

Second evening = 4x = 68 calls

Third evening = x + 8 = 25 calls
