a house and lot are sold for 14 million. the house cost 1.5 times as much as the lot. how much does the lot costs?

Sagot :

Representation:
Lot: x
House: 1.5x
House and Lot: 14 million

Equation:
x + 1.5x = 14 million

2.5x = 14 million 

2.5x/2.5 = 14 million/2.5

x = 5.6 million

Answer:  The lot costs 5.6 million.

Check:
Lot: x = 5.6 million
House: 1.5x = 1.5 (5.6 million) = 8.4 million

Add:
5.6 million + 8.4 million = 14 million
14 million = 14 million
