Respuesta :

The total number of houses sold in January by Coventry Estates are 18.

How to do the twice of number?

  • This suggests that the amount of A is twice as large as the quantity of anything else, which in this case is B.
  • So, if you have a dozen B items, you have twice a certain number for A, which is 24.

As per the given question;

Let the total sales of the houses in January be 'x'.

In February they sold twice as many houses as in January.

February = 2x.

In March they sold 10 more houses than in February.

March  = February + 10

March  = 2x + 10

In April they sold half as many houses as in March.

April = March/2

April = (2x + 10)/2 = x + 5

The total sold houses = 123.

Add all the sold houses;

x + 2x + 2x + 10 + x + 5 = 123

6x + 15 = 123

On simplification;

x = 18

Thus, the total number of houses sold in January by Coventry Estates are 18.
