A car dealership sells suvs and passenger cars. for a recent year,80 more subs were sold than passenger cars. if a total of 310 vehicles were sold, determine the number of each type of vehicle sold

Respuesta :

The total number of SUVs sold = 195

and the total number of passenger cars were sold = 115

For given question,

Let x be the total number of SUVs and y be the total number of passenger cars sold.

For a recent year,80 more SUVs were sold than passenger cars.

So we get an equation,

x = y + 80                .............(1)

A total of 310 vehicles were sold.

So we get an equation,

x + y = 310              .............(2)

Substitute the value of x from (1) in an equation (2),

(y + 80) + y = 310  

2y + 80 = 310

2y = 230

y = 115

This means, total 115 passenger cars were sold.

Substitute the above value of in equation (1),

x = 115 + 80

x = 195

This means, total 195 SUVs were sold.

Therefore, the total number of SUVs sold = 195

and the total number of passenger cars were sold = 115
