There are 1500 jelly beans divided between two jars, Jar X and Jar Y. If there are 200 fewer jelly beans in jar X than three times the number of beans in jar Y, how many beans are in jar X?
Choose the correct choice.
A) 1050 B) 1075 C) 1100 D) 1125 E) 1150
X+Y=1500 so Y=1500-X   X=3Y-200   X=3(1500-X)-200   4X=4300   X=1075   The answer is 1075.
