Question

A textbook store sold a combined total of 328 math and history textbooks in a week. The number of math textbooks sold was three times the number of history textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold?.

Answer 1

246 math and 82 history textbooks

Explanation:

this one is a fun one

328 / 4 gives us a value of m and h which is 82

so 328 = 3x + y

328 = 3m(82) + 1h(82)

328 = 246m + 82h

328=328
