a) The equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership A is: A = 225
b) The equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership B is: B = 300
c) Dealership A sold 225 cars.
d) Since Dealership B sold half as many trucks as Dealership A, and Dealership A sold a total of 225 cars and trucks, the number of trucks sold by Dealership B would be half of the number of trucks sold by Dealership A, which is 225/2 = 112.5 trucks. However, since you can't sell half a truck, the number of trucks sold by Dealership B would be either 112 or 113.
