Question

IF BRAND A HAS $47 BILLION MORE THAN BRAND B. IF THE TOTAL VALUE OF THESE TWO BRANDS ARE $107BILLION, FIND THE VALUE OF EACH BRANDS.

Answer 1

I assume this means that Brand A has a value that is $47 billion more than the value of Brand B. Let x = the value (in billions)of Brand B. Then we have:

 

Brand A = x + 47 

 

x + (x + 47) = 107

 

2x + 47 = 107

 

2x = 60

 

x = 30 billion dollars, so Brand B is worth 30 billion dollars, and Brand A is worth 77 billion dollars
