How many homes did each sell?

Question

Nanda Yueh and Lane Zuriff sell homes for ERA Realty. Over the past 6 months they sold 180 homes. Nanda sold 2 times as many homes as Lane.

How many homes did each sell

Answer 1

let's say that Lane sold x homes

then Nanda sold 2x homes

 

x + 2x = 180

3x = 180

x = 60

 

Therefore, Lane sold 60 homes and Nanda sold 2 * 60 = 120 homes over the past 6 months
