Jason bought a new skateboard and helmet and the skateboard cost 3 times as much as the helmet did. if jason spent $96 total how much did he pay for each thing?

Helmet cost $24.25 and the skateboard cost $72.75

Okay so what you need to do is divide $96 by 3. and that is $32  :3

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
