Sammy and David were selling water bottles to raise
money for new football uniforms. Sammy sold 5 water
bottles for every 3 water bottles David sold. Together
they sold 160 water bottles. How many did each boy
sell?

Sagot :

3 + 5 = 8
160/8 = 20
20 sets of 8
Sammy = 20 x 5 = 100
David = 20 x 3 = 60

Answer:

Sammy sold 100 bottles

David sold 60 bottles


Explanation:

We are given that Sammy sold 5 bottles for each 3 bottles David sold

This means that:

Sammy sold 5x bottles while David sold 3x bottles


Now, we know that the total is 160 bottles. Therefore:

5x + 3x = 160

8x = 160

x = 20


Since we know the value of x, we can now know how many bottles each sold as follows:

Sammy sold = 5x = 5(20) = 100 bottles

David sold = 3x = 3(20) = 60 bottles


Hope this helps :)
