Question

Fred and Ethyl had 132 flowers at first.  After Fred sold 1/4 of his flowers and ethyl sold 48 of her flowers, they had the same number of flowers left.  How many flowers did each have at first?

Answer 1

F + E = 132

(0.75)F = E - 48 ⇒ (0.75)F - E = -48

 

F + E = 132

(0.75)F - E = - 48

 

Can you solve the system and answer?
