You can use the information in the question get the equations: Mark - 10=p+r+h [p=pop, r=rock, h=hip hop] Jess - 28 =5p+2r+3h Nate - 20=3p+3r+h Multiplying Mark equation by three (giving 30=3p+3r+3h) and taking away Nate's equation from this leaves a new equation 10=2h, so h=5 You can then multiply mark original equation again, but by 2 (giving 20=2p+2r+2h) and subtract this from Jess equation (giving 3p+h=8) and we know h=5, so 3p=3 and p=1, which proves answer is D.
