Answer :
J sold 162 solar panels, calculated by setting up an equation where J sold six times as many panels as K, with the difference in their sales equating to 135 panels.
The question asks us to find out how many solar panels J sold, given that J sold six times as many as K and the difference in their sales is 135 panels. To solve this problem, we let the number of panels K sold be represented by x. Therefore, J sold 6x panels. The difference between their sales is J's sales minus K's sales, which equates to (6x - x) panels. This difference has been given as 135.
We then have the following equation:
- 6x - x = 135
- 5x = 135
- x = 135 / 5
- x = 27
So, K sold 27 solar panels, and J sold 6 times that amount:
- J sold 6 * 27 = 162 solar panels.
