Answer:

There were 186 math textbooks sold and 62 physics textbooks sold.

Given:

- 248 books sold in total

- math textbooks and physics textbooks sold

- math is three times physics

Step-by-step explanation:

[] First, we can set up mathematical equations for this scenario;

       - Let m be math textbooks and p be physics textbooks

m = 3p

248 = p + (3p)

248 = 4p

62 = p

[] Now we can solve for the amount of each books sold;

p = 62 books

3 * p = m

3 * 62 = m

m = 186

[] Lastly, we can check to make sure this will work;

186 + 62 = 248 ✓

Have a nice day!
