If Colorado Springs, Colorado, has 1.2 times as many days of sunshine as Boston, Massachusetts, how many days of sunshine does each city have if there are a total of 482 days of sunshine between the two in a year?

Sagot :

Colorado and Boston have 263 and 219 days of sunshine respectively.

What is the solution to the Equation?

Let the number of days of sunshine in Colorado is x and the number of days of sunshine in Boston is y.

Total number of days of sunshine=482

Also, the number of days of sunshine in Colorado is 1.2 times the number of days of sunshine in Boston.

So, the equation is formed as follows:

x+y=482  -(1)

The other equation is formed as:

x=1.2y  -(2)

Substitute the value x from equation (2) in (1),

1.2y+y=482

2.2y=482

y=482/2.2

y=219

Substitute the value of y in equation (1),

x+219=482

x=482-219

x=263
