Question: 412

6. Two numbers together add to 375. One number is twice the size of the other. What are the two numbers?

  • A. 25, 50
  • B. 50, 100
  • C. 75, 150
  • D. 95, 190

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

E is correct. Set this up as an equation. A number plus 2 times that number is 375.

x + 2x = 375

Solve for x.

3x = 375

x = 125

So one number is 125 and the other is twice that, or 250.
