Tracy, Michelle, and Kati take a road trip that is a total of 1000 miles. Tracy drives 20 miles more than twice Michelle, and Michelle drives 3 times the amount that Katie drives. How many miles does Michelle drive? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
User
Let x represent the number of miles Kati drives. Michelle:3x. Tracy:20 + 2(3x) = 20 + 6x. Total:x + 3x + 20 + 6x = 1000. 10x + 20 = 1000. 10x = 980. x = 98 miles. 3(98) = 294 miles. So, the answer is 294.
