Question

Michelle made 26 more sales calls last month than Allen. Together, they made 120 calls. How many calls were made by Michelle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: OK so Allena and micheal has 120 all together right

and micheal made 26 more right

So they had the same number but its changed when micheal made 26 more calls

so 120-26=73

so they both cant have 73

So we would divided 73 by 2

since its 2 of them

So its M=47 and A=47

than add the 26 calls to Michael

and it would be 73

and than you add 47 (when they say add them all together)

from allen

and get 120

so the answer is 73 calls by micheal.

Answer 2

Find out the how many calls were made by Michelle .

To proof

As given

Michelle made 26 more sales calls last month than Allen

let us assume that the number of calls made by Allen be = x

let us assume that the number of calls made by Michelle be = 26 + x

Together, they made 120 calls.

than the equation becomes

x + x + 26 = 120

2x = 120 - 26

2x = 94

`x = (94)/(2)`

x = 47

number of calls made by Allen be = 47

number of calls made by Michelle be = 26 + 47

= 73

Hence proved
