The first aircraft has 89 more seats than the second aircraft. The third aircraft has 17 fewer seats than the second aircraft. If their total number of seats is 372 , find the number of seats for each aircraft.

100

189

83

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we can see that there are three aircrafts. Let the number of aircrafts in the second aircraft be x.

Then the first has 89 more seats meaning it has a total seats of x + 89

The third has 17 fewer seats meaning x - 17

Now we are expected to find the number of seats on each of the aircraft officials.

We add all and then sum to the total 372.

This means

x + x + 89 + x - 17 = 372

3x + 72 = 372

3x = 300

x = 300/3 = 100

The aircrafts thus have 100 seats, 189 and 83 seats in no particular order
