Someone ordered 430 shirts . They ordered twice as many red as white and 50 more blue than white . How many of each color did he order ?

Respuesta :

If white, is w, then you have the equation w+2w+w+50=530.

4w=480, so there are 120 white colored shirts.

There are 240 red colored shirts.

There are 170 blue colored shirts.



Answer:

White 95 , red 190 and blue 145.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of white shirts ordered be w

Then the  number of red = 2w and number of blue = w + 50 . Thus:-

w + 2w + w + 50 = 430

4w + 50 = 430

4w =  430 - 50 = 380

w =  380 / 4 = 95

So red = 190 and blue =  145
