During one calendar year, a state trooper issued a total of 375 citations for warnings and speeding tickets. Of these, there were 37 more warnings than speeding tickets. How many warnings and how many speeding tickets were issued.

Answer :

Answer:

169 Speeding Tickets, 206 Warnings.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were 37 more warnings than tickets, then the first thing you want to do is remove that from the total by subtracting it: 375-37 = 338.

You then halve this to split them into tickets and warnings: 338/2 = 169.

Lastly, you add back the 37 more warnings, giving you 169 speeding tickets and 206 warnings.
