Three electric cars are carrying 79 people. In the first car, there are 17 more people than in the second and 15 less than the third. How many people in each car?

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first car, there are 17 more people than in the second

In the first car, there are 15 less people than the third.

The three cars carry a total of 79 people.

Therefore:

x+(x-17)+(x+15)=79

3x-2=79

3x=79+2

3x=81

x=27

Therefore:

Number of people in the first car=27

Number of people in the second car =27-17=10

Number of people in the third car =27+15=42

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
