K Corporation sells 4 times as many GE dishwashers as Wallac

K Corporation sells 4 times as many GE dishwashers as Wallace Company. The difference between their sales is 180 dishwashers. How many GE dishwashers did each sell?

Solution

Let Wallace company sells x dishwashers . Then K corporation sells 4x dishwashers as it is 4 times.

So their difference = 4x-x=3x

By the question

3x= 180

x = 180/3 =60

So Wallace company sells = 60 dishwashers and K Corporation sells 4*60 =240 dishwashers
