Question

A few years ago, a total of 2682 thousand people lived in the metropolitan areas of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Sacramento, California. Sacramento had 276 thousand more residents that Las Vegas. What was the population of each metropolitan area? 50 POINTS

Answer 1

2,682,000 total

2,682,000 - 276,000 = 2,406000

2,406,000 / 2 = 1,203,000 lived in Nevada

1,203,000 + 276,000 = 1,479,000 lived in California
