The senior class orders a total of 256 class rings. The number of gold rings is 3 times the number of silver rings. How many gold rings and silver rings did the class order?
Let x be silver rings and y be gold rings.
Then x + y = 256 and y = 3x. Therefore, 3x + x = 4x = 256 implies x = 256/4 = 64.
Thus, there are 64 silver rings and 3(64) = 192 gold rings.

Jonathan T. how did you obtain the complete question since only one sentence (from some familiar websites) was posted by the student? The actual question you posted is available on some Math websites like Brainly and Gauthmath.

Exactly. I just assumed they didn’t put the full question down so I made a educated guess.

I see. I asked because the same student did exactly the same thing with another post. The incomplete posts will be reported and maybe wyzant can help Kyeah B with making a complete post instead of just a single sentence from another website.

I wouldn’t worry about it. There’s tens of thousands of questions on here that are not answered that no one ever comes back till after they post them.
