A new club sent out 252 coupons to boost sales for next years memberships. They provided 6 times as many potential members than existing members. How many coupons did they sent to existing members?

Respuesta :

Answer:

36 coupons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of coupons provided to existing members.

We have been given that a new club provided 6 times as many potential members than existing members. So coupons provided to potential members would be [tex]6x[/tex].

We are also told that  the club out 252 coupons to boost sales for next years memberships. So total number of coupons should be equal to 252.

[tex]x+6x=252[/tex]

[tex]7x=252[/tex]

[tex]\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{252}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x=36[/tex]

Therefore, 36 coupons were sent to existing members.
