Terrence and Lee were selling magazines for a charity. In the first week, Terrance sold 30% more than Lee. In the second week, Terrance sold 12 magazines, but Lee did not sell any. If Terrance sold 50% more than Lee by the end of the second week, how many magazines did Lee sell?

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say T is the number of magazines sold by Terrance, and L is the number of magazines sold by Lee.

Terrance sold 30% more than Lee plus 12.

T = 1.3L + 12

Overall, Terrance sold 50% more than Lee.

T = 1.5L

Setting the expressions equal:

1.3L + 12 = 1.5L

12 = 0.2L

L = 60

Lee sold 60 magazines.
