Help! Math word problem OMG!!!
I have been trying to wrap my arms around this and the logic explanation just makes NO sense to me (specifically the bold text below)! Can anyone help me understand in a different way?
Question:
Twice the price of a scooter is equal to thrice the price of a television. If the price of the scooter is 600$ more than the television, what is the price of the television?
Answers:
A. 1800$
B. 1500$
C. 1200$ (This is the correct answer)
D. 2400$
Logic explanation:
Let prices of Scooter and Television be S and T respectively. Then 2S = 3T or S = (3/2)T. Now given that S = T+600, put value of S so that (3/2)T − T = 600 or T =1200$
