Question

If Colorado Springs, Colorado, has 1.6 times more days of sunshine than Boston, Massachusetts, how many days of sunshine does each city have if there are a total of 442 days of sunshine between the two in a year?

Answer 1

c = 1.6b
c + b = 442

1.6b + b = 442
2.6b = 442
b = 442 / 2.6
b = 170 <== Boston

c = 1.6b
c = 1.6(170)
c = 272 <== Colorado Springs
