Can you please tell me how u got 160 and 360

anonymous · Answer

I started at 100 and 300, and came up short of 1040. Then I tried 150 and 350, and I was still short. Then I tried 160 and 360, and it was correct. Sorry if you were looking for a more mathematical way, but that's honestly how I did it.
