(a) Let x be the number of cars sold by Dealership A and y be the number of trucks sold by Dealership A. The equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership A is x + y = 225.
(b) Let c be the number of cars sold by Dealership B and t be the number of trucks sold by Dealership B. The equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership B is c + t = 300.
(c) Given that Dealership A sold a total of 225 cars and trucks, we can solve the equation x + y = 225 to find the number of cars sold by Dealership A. However, the value of y is not given, so we cannot determine the exact number of cars sold by Dealership A.
(d) Given that Dealership B sold half as many trucks as Dealership A, we can determine the number of trucks sold by Dealership B once we know the number of trucks sold by Dealership A. However, the number of trucks sold by Dealership A is not given in the problem statement, so we cannot calculate the number of trucks sold by Dealership B.
A company owns two dealerships, both of which sell cars and trucks. Dealership A sells a total of 225 cars and trucks. Dealership B sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as the Dealership A, and sells a total of 300 cars and trucks.
(a) An equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership A:
(b) An equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership B:
(c) How many cars did Dealership A sell?
(d) Given the fact that Dealership B sold half as many trucks as Dealership A, how many trucks did Dealership B sell?
