A textbook store sold a combined total of 236 history and physics textbooks in a week. The number of history textbooks sold was three times the number of physics textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let H and P represent the number of history and physics textbooks.

We are told that:

1)  H + P = 236/week, and

2)  H = 3P                                     [A disgrace, but that's a different problem]

We can substitute the definition of H in the second equation into the first:

H + P = 236/week

3P + P = 236/week

4P = 236

P =  59

H = 3P, so H = 3*(59) or 177

59 Physics and 177 History books for a total of 236 books sold that week.
