Question

rainbow bread company delivered a total of 180 loaves of bread to 3 Markets. savemart got 12 more than vons. Ralph's got 6 more than savemart. How many did each store get

Answer 1

Savemart=s
Vons=v
Ralphs=r
s+v+r=180
In terms of s each market got the following amount of loaves:
s=s
v=s-12
r=s+6
So:
s+s+s-12+6=180
3s-12+6=180
3s-6=180
3s=186
s=62
v=50
r=68

Hope this helps :)
