Let x be the number of cars sold at the dealership LA and y be the number of trucks sold at the dealership LA.
We know that the dealership base sells twice as many cars as the dealership LA: base = 2x
We also know that the dealership base sells half as many trucks as the dealership LA: base = (1/2)y
The dealership LA sells x cars and y trucks, so their total sales is x + y.
The dealership base sells 2x cars and (1/2)y trucks, so their total sales is 2x + (1/2)y.
Based on the given information, we have the following equations:
x + y = 225 (Equation 1)
2x + (1/2)y = 300 (Equation 2)
To find an equation for the total cars and trucks at dealership A, we need to find the values of x and y, and substitute them into the equation (2x + (1/2)y).
We can solve the above system of equations to find the values of x and y.
A company owns two dealerships, both of which sales cars and trucks dealership. They sells a total of 225 cars and trucks dealership base sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as the dealership LA and sales a total of 300 cars and trucks.
