1. The Sharks Aquatic Club recently held a fundraiser to raise money for a local charity. The swimmers received money for each lap that they swam during a one-week period. The three swimmers who raised the most money were Rita, John, and Rodell. Together they swam a total of 2125 laps. John swam three times as many laps as Rita, and Rodell swam 25 more laps than John. How many laps did each swimmer swim?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Rita = 300

John = 900

Rodell = 925

Step-by-step explanation:

rita = x (let

john = 3x ( john swims three times more than rita

rodell = 25 + 3x ( rodell swims 25 more than john

x + 3x + 25 + 3x = 2125

or, 7x + 25 = 2125

or, 7x = 2125 - 25

or, x = 2100/7

x = 300

hence,

x = 300

3x = 3 × 300

= 900

25 + 3x = 25 + 900

= 925
