1,612 sweaters. The factory made 3 times as many small sweaters as large sweaters. They
made 3 times as many medium sweaters as small sweaters.
How many small sweaters did the factory make last week?

Respuesta :

This requires finding the number of small sweaters the company made last week

Number of small sweaters the company produced last week is 372

Total sweaters made = 1,612

Let

Small sweaters = 3x

Medium sweaters = x

Large sweaters = 3(3x) = 9x

Total = small + medium + large

1,612 = 3x + x + 9x

1612 = 13x

Divide by 13

x = 1612/13

Medium sweaters = x = 124

Small sweaters = 3x

= 3(124)

= 372
