Creedence · Answer 1

Bill sold x number of cars Total of cars=x+3x=4x 640=4x X=640/4 X=160 160*3=480 cars

Maximus Carson · Answer 2

Mike sells 3 times.

Bill sells 1 time.

Together, they sell (3 + 1) = 4 times.

Those 4 times total up to 640 cars.

So each time = (640/4) = 160 cars.

Bill sells 1 time = 160 cars.

Mike sells 3 times = (3 x 160) = 480 cars

Bill is certainly no slouch, but Mike!

Mike sells like 4 cars every 3 days, for the whole year!

I hope Jangle's realizes what they've got there, and

compensates him accordingly.
