Peyton, Nathan and Alexandra sold their stuffies for a fundraising event. Peyton sold two more than four times the stuffies Nathan.
Alexandra sold half as many stuffies as Peyton.
Each stuffie was sold for $2.50. Together they fundraised $130.
How many stuffies did each person sell?

p = 30, n = 7, a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that p is the amount of stuffies Peyton sold, n is the amount of stuffies Nathan sold, and a is the amount of stuffies Alexandra sold.

Peyton sold two more than four times the stuffies Nathan sold.

This means that: p = 2 + 4n (n = (p-2)/4)

Each stuffie was sold for $2.50. Together they fundraised $130.Alexandra sold half as many stuffies as Peyton.

This means that: a = p/2

Each stuffie was sold for $2.50. Together they fundraised $130.

This means that: 2.50p + 2.50n + 2.50a = 2.50(p + n + a) = 130

We can make the equation in terms of p by substituting a and n.

2.50(p + n + a)

= 2.50(p + (p-2)/4 + p/2)

= 2.50(4p/4 + (p-2)/4 + 2p/4)   [Make the p's have a denominator of 4]

= 2.50((4p + p - 2 + 2p)/4)

= 2.50((7p-2)/4)

= 5/2 * (7p-2)/4

= 5(7p-2)/8

= (35p-10)/8 = 130

35p-10 = 1040

35p = 1050

p = 30

n = (30-2)/4

  = 7

a = 30/2

  = 15

first one is a: renaming a fraction. second one is c: de-c
