Of the bundles delivered daily to the store, 1/3

consists of the morning edition of The Daily Sun.

Another 2 bundles are made up of the afternoon

edition of the same paper. Of the remaining

bundles, 1/2 is regional, one is a local

newspaper, and one is from another state. How

many bundles are delivered daily to the

bookstore?

Respuesta :

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total bundle=x

Morning edition of the daily sun=1/3x

=x/3

Afternoon edition of the daily sun=2

That leaves 2x/3 - 2, of which

x/3 - 1 are regional

1 is local

1 from another state

Sum everything

x = x/3 + 2 + x/3 - 1 + 1 + 1

x=2x/3 +3

x-2x/3=3

3x-2x/3=3

x/3=3

Cross product

x=3Ă—3

x = 9
