Given:
Pierre's Pizza and Joe's Burger Palace together had a revenue of 470,000.
Burger Palace took in 90,000 less than Pierre's Pizza.
To find:
How much did each take in.
Solution:
Let Pierre's Pizza take in x.
Burger Palace take in = (x-90000)
Pierre's Pizza and Joe's Burger Palace together had a revenue of 470,000.
[tex]x+(x-90000)=470000[/tex]
[tex]2x-90000=470000[/tex]
[tex]2x=470000+90000[/tex]
[tex]2x=560000[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]x=280000[/tex]
Pierre's Pizza take in 280,000.
Burger Palace take in = 280,000-90,000 = 190,000
Therefore, Pierre's Pizza take in 280,000 and Burger Palace take in 190,000.
