The toy shop stocks tricycles and go-carts.
The tricycles have 3 wheels.
The go-carts have 5 wheels.

Suna counted the wheels.
He counted 37 altogether.
How many tricycles and go carts are there?

Respuesta :

Total number of wheels in the toy shop = 37 wheels

Number of wheels for tricycles = 3

Number of wheels for go-carts = 5

  • Since the total number of tricycles and go-carts are not given, we solve this question using Assumption.

  • Let's assume: We have 4 tricycles and 4 go-carts

(4 x 3) + (4 x 5)

= 12 + 20

= 32 wheels. This assumption is wrong.

  • Let's assume: We have 4 tricycles and 5 go-carts

(4 x 3) + (5 x 5)

= 12 + 25

= 37 wheels. This assumption is correct.

Therefore, we have  4 tricycles and 5 go-carts in the toy shop.
