a house and lot are sold for P 14 M. The house costs 1.5 times as much as the lot. How much does the lots costs?

Sagot :

Cost of lot:  x
Cost of house: 1.5x
Cost of House and Lot:  14 million pesos

Equation:
x + 1.5x = 14
2.5x = 14

2.5x/2.5 = 14/2.5
x = 5.6 

The cost of the lot is 5.6 million pesos

To find the cost of the house:
(1.5) (5.6) = 8.4 milion pesos

To check:
5.6 + 8.4 = 14
14 = 14
