Question

Three children deliver newspapers in a small town, J delivers twice as many as D who delivers 100 more papers than R. If altogether 500 newspapers are delivered, how many does each child deliver?

Answer 1

Answer:

R=50,D=150,j=300

Step-by-step explanation:

let us take,

R=x(according to question)

D=100+x(according to question)

J=2(100+x)(according to question)

then,

x+100+x+2(x+100)=500

4x+300=500

4x=200

x=50,

now

R(x)=50

D(100+x)=150

J(2(x+100))=300
