Question 5

Wrong way

John sold 6 times as many as James.  George sold 6 more than James. In all, they sold 54.

It may be hard to make an equation from the given question. But we can do it this way: Since three people in total sold the amount of money, we can divide the total amount by 3.

54 ÷ 3 = 18

Now we know they equally made $18, but they actually did not. So since John's sale was 6 times as James', we can just divide 18 by 6.

18 ÷ 6 = 3

Subtract 3 from 18 to know how much was added back to John. 18 - 3 = 15

15 + 18 = 33

3 + 6 = 9, since George's sale is 6 more (which is plus) than James.

Right Way

We are given John sold 6 times as many as James. How much James has is unknown, so we will give it "" as a variable.

Divide both sides by 6

So, James has sold $9

9+6=15
