Answer 2

thanks
$88.8 billion was spent on advertising. total spent on TV and Radio ads was 3.2 billion more than on newspaper ads alone. The amount spent on newspaper ads was 5.3 billion more than what was spent on TV ads. How much was spent on each form of advertising?

Answer 3

t+r=3.2+n
n=5.3+t
t+r=3.2+5.3+t
r=8.5 billion

Answer 4

88.8=r+t+n
88.8=8.5+t+n
83.3=t+n
83.3=t+5.3+t
78=2t
39=t

Answer 5

that should be
80.3=t+n
80.3=t+5.3+t
75=2t
37.5=t
88.8=8.5+37.5+n
80.3-37.5=n
42.8=n

Answer 6

That would leave 41.3 billion for Newspapers, and that would not work out right. This problem is making me crazy!
