A house and lot are sold for P14M. The house cost 1.5 times as much as the lot. How much does the lot costs?


Sagot :

Lets represent:
House=x
Lot=y

x+y=P14M

The house cost 1.5 times as much as the lot.
x=1.5y

Substitute
1.5y+y=P14M
2.5y=P14M
Divide both sides by 2.5
y=P5.6M

Substitute to find the value of the house\
x=1.5y
x=1.5(P5.6M)
x=P8.4M

Hope this helps =)
