A textbook store sold a combined total of 392 physics and psychology textbooks in a week. The number of physics textbooks sold was three times the number of psychology textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Psychology textbooks = 98 and physics textbooks = 294

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are x psychology textbooks sold.

No of physics textbooks sold = 3x

ATQ,

A textbook store sold a combined total of 392 physics and psychology textbooks in a week.

x + 3x = 392

4x = 392

x = 98

It means there are 98 psychology textbooks sold and 3x = 3(98) = 294 physics textbooks sold.
