Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The number of sprites old = 19The number of cokes sold = 57 Step-by-step explanation:Let us assume the number of sprites sold = mSo, the number of cokes sold = 3 times (Number of sprites) =3 x (m) = 3 mAlso, the total number of sodas sold = 76⇒ The number of (Sprites + coke) sold = 76or, m + 3 m = 76⇒ 4 m = 76⇒ m = 76 / 4 = 1 9or, m = 19Hence the number of sprites old = m = 19And the number of cokes sold = 3 m = 3 x 19 = 57
