Jorge, sandra, danny, and valeria each mowed lawns after school and on the

weekends for a month. sandra mowed one-third of the number of lawns as jorge

and danny mowed half as many lawns as jorge. if valeria mowed 16 lawns and

the group mowed a total of 49 lawns in the month, how many did jorge mow?

Sagot :

Jorge mowed 18 lawns.

Let the number of lawns mowed by Jorge =x

So according to the question

Number of lawns mowed by sandra = x/3

Number of lawns mowed by Danny =x/2

Number of lawns mowed by Valeria =16

sum of total lawns mowed = lawns mowed by Jorge + lawns mowed by sandra + lawns mowed by Danny + lawns mowed by Valeria.

[tex]x+\frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{2} +16=49[/tex]

taking LCM as 6 and solving further we get

[tex]\frac{6x+2x+3x+96}{6} =49[/tex]

By cross Multiplying we get

11x+96=294

11x=198

Solving further for x,

x=198/11

x=18

Therefore,  the number of lawns mowed by Jorge is 18 .
