Question

Suppose in one year, total revenues from digital sales of pop/rock, tropical (salsa/merengue/cumbia/bachata), and urban (reggaeton) Latin music in a certain country amounted to $27 million. Tropical music brought in twice as much as urban music, and pop/rock music brought in $3 million more than the others combined. How much revenue was earned from digital sales in each of the three categories?

pop/rock music $ million
tropical music $ million
urban Latin music $ million

Answer 1

Answer:

tropic music = $8 million

and

urban latin music = $4 million

and

pop/rock music = $15 million

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

total revenues = $27 million

to find out

How much revenue was earned from digital sales in each of the three categories pop/rock  , tropical and urban Latin music

solution

we consider here sale by pop/rock = P

and tropical T = x

and then  urban Latin U = $\frac{x}{2}$

then P = x +  $\frac{x}{2}$ + 3

so we have given

P + T  +U = $27 million    ........................1

x+ $\frac{x}{2}$ + x +  $\frac{x}{2}$ + 3 = 27

2x + x + 2x+ x+ 6 = 54

x = 8

so

tropic music = $8 million

and

urban latin music = $4 million

and

pop/rock music = 8 +  $\frac{8}{2}$ + 3 = $15 million
