Answer:
On the sale of garage One family made $1154 and Second family made $486
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two families have a garage sale together the entire garage sale brought in $1640
Total Cost = $1640
Let the Second made be x
Also given one family made $182 more than twice as much of the second family
One family made = [tex]182+2x[/tex]
Now Total cost is equal to sum of One family and Second family.
Hence framing in equation form we get;
[tex]x+182+2x=1640[/tex]
Now solving the equation we get;
[tex]3x+182=1640\\3x=1640-182\\3x= 1458\\x=\frac{1458}{3}= \$486[/tex]
Hence,
Second Family made on sale of garage = $486
One Family = [tex]182+2x=182+2\times486 = 182 + 972 = \$1154[/tex]
Hence One Family made on sale of garage = $1154
