each car in a rental fleet is either red or white and there are 75 cars total there are three more white than twice the number of red cars how many cars are white
Let's say the number of red cars is R. According to the given information, the number of white cars would be 2R + 3.
Since the total number of cars is 75, we can set up the equation:
R + (2R + 3) = 75
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3R + 3 = 75
Subtracting 3 from both sides:
3R = 72
Dividing both sides by 3:
R = 24
Therefore, the number of white cars would be:
2R + 3 = 2(24) + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51
Hence, there are 51 white cars in the rental fleet.
