Question
Sales for a business were 3 million dollars more the second year than the first, and sales for the third year were double the sales for the second year. If sales for the third year were 38 million dollars, what were sales, in millions of dollars, for the first year?Individual Question1617.520.52235
Solution
The problem states that sales for the third year were double the sales for the second year. If sales for the third year were 38 million dollars, this means sales for the second year were half of that, or 19 million dollars.
The problem also states that sales for the second year were 3 million dollars more than the first year. So, to find the sales for the first year, we subtract 3 million dollars from the sales of the second year.
So, 19 million dollars - 3 million dollars = 16 million dollars.
Therefore, sales for the first year were 16 million dollars.
