i have 1 more that is long. hopefully u will remember the one with the cruise ships. same thing. caribbean paradise has 28 more staterooms that the pacific paradise. the mediteranean paradise has 32 fewer staterooms than 3 times the number of staterooms on the pacific. find the number of staterooms for each ship if total staterooms for the 3 ships is 976.

Question

anonymous · Answer

C=P+28
M=3P-32

C+M+P=976
(P+28)+(3P-32)+P=976
5P-4=976
5P=980
P=196

sub back into first equations:
C=224
M=475
