Flu is passed around an accounts department. the clerk has 2 1/2 times the days off sick than the accountant. the accountant has 2/3 the time off than the book keeper. in total they all take 10 days sick days. how many sick days do they each take?
can someone and if you know the answer can you show me how you did it, or message me in private?

N=book keeper
2/3n=accountant
2 1/2(2/3n)=clerk
(2 1/2(2/3n)) + (2/3n) + n = 10
multiply 2 1/2 by 2/3 = 1 2/3
1 2/3n + 2/3n + n = 10
add your coeffients 1 2/3 + 2/3 + 1 = 3 1/3
3 1/3n = 10
divide 10 by 3 1/3 = n
2/3n = 2
2 1/2(2/3n) = 5
2 = accountant
3 = book keeper
5 = clerk
Now check 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
I hope this is helpful you need more help with this message me.

4x 20 is 80 but if ther machine is broken then there is none you have to redo the test
