Answer:
Vendor 1 sold 81 Ice creams
Vendor 2 sold 60 Ice cream
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first vendor = v1
Let second vendor = v2
Given that
From the first statement
"Two vendors sold 141 ice-creams during their working shift"
v1 + v2 = 141
From the second statement
"The first vendor sold 35% more ice-creams than the second one"
v1 = 35%v2 + v2
Solving for v1
v1 = 35%v2 + v2 --- convert percentage to fraction
v1 = 35/100 * v2 + v2 --- convert fraction to decimal
v1 = 0.35v2 + v2
v1 = 1.35v2
Since v1 + v2 = 141
Substitute 1.35v2 for v1 in the above
1.35v2 + v2 = 141
2.35v2 = 141 ---- divide through by 2.35
v2 = 141/2.35
v2 = 60 Ice creams
Calculating v1
v1 = 1.35v2
v1 = 1.35 * 60
v1 = 81 Ice creams.
Hence, vendor 1 sold 81 Ice creams while vendor 2 sold 60 Ice cream
