Question

The U-Drive Rent-A-Truck company plans to spend $10 million on 260 new vehicles. Each commercial van will cost $25,000, each small truck $50,000, and each large truck $50,000. Past experience shows that they need twice as many vans as small trucks. How many of each type of vehicle can they buy?

 

They can buy______ vans, ____small trucks, and ____large trucks.

Answer 1

well you setup the equation like this. 

 

10 million = vans+2 vans( twice as many small trucks) + large trucks (LT)

260= 3 vans + LT

now you have 2 equations and 2 unknowns.
