bills roast beef sells 8 times as many sandwiches as petes deli. the diffrence between their sales is 476 sandwitches. how many sandwitches did each sell?

Answer 1

b= 8p, p=b/8

b-p=476

8p-p = 7p = 476

p =476/7= 68 for pete

b = 8x68= 524 for bill

b-b/8 = 476

7b/8 =476

b/8 = 68 for pete

b = 8x68=524 for bill
