Question

There are five sales agents in a certain real estate office. One month Andy sold twice as many properties as Ellen, Bob sold 3 more than Ellen, Cary sold twice as many as Bob, and Dora sold as many as Bob and Ellen together. Who sold the most properties that month?

Answer 1

Carry

Explanation:

Here let’s take any arbitrary value for the number of properties sold by Ellen.

Let the number of properties sold by Ellen he 10. We were told Andy sold twice of this, this means he sold 20 properties

Bob sold 3 more than Ellen, meaning he sold 13.

Carry sold twice of Bob meaning he sold 26

Dora sold the addition of Bob and Ellen = 13 + 10 = 23

Carry sold 26 and this makes him the highest seller.
