Let's say the number of red cars is R. According to the given information, the number of white cars would be 2R + 3.
Since the total number of cars is 75, we can set up the equation:
R + (2R + 3) = 75
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3R + 3 = 75
Subtracting 3 from both sides:
3R = 72
Dividing both sides by 3:
R = 24
Therefore, the number of white cars would be:
2R + 3 = 2(24) + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51
Hence, there are 51 white cars in the rental fleet.
each car in a rental fleet is either red or white and there are 75 cars total there are three more white than twice the number of red cars how many cars are white
