At work one day Erica received 55 packages. Speedy Delivery delivered 4 times as many as Ralph Express delivered while Ralph delivered 5 times more than Send Quick So how many packaged did each service send

Answer 1

SD=4RE
RE=5SQ

SD+RE+Sq=55
4RE+RE+RE/5=55
5 1/5 RE=55
26/5 RE=55
26RE=275
so something is wrong with the question, it is not an even number.

I think your teacher made an error.
