Jennifer has 2/3 the number of plums Destiny has. Andy has half as many plums as Jennifer. If Destiny has 13 more plums than Jennifer, calculate how many plums they have altogether.

Respuesta :

Let's define the following variable.

x = Destiny's number of plums.

If Jennifer has 2/3 the number of plums Destiny has, then we can say that Jennifer has 2/3x plums.

If Andy has half as many plums as Jennifer, then we can say that Andy has 1/2 x 2/3x or 1/3x plums.

If Destiny has 13 more plums than Jennifer, then Destiny's number of plums x = 13 + 2/3x.

To calculate the total plums they have together, let's add them and solve for x first.
