i was never good at these problems. this is from a friend of my wife. she is taking classes and is trying put this into a formula and explain how you get to the answer.
A new cruise ship line has just launched 3 new ships: The Pacific Paradise, the Caribbean Paradise and the Mediterranean Paradise. The Caribbean P. has 38 more deluxe staterooms than the Pacific P. The Mediterranean P. has 40 fewer deluxe staterooms than four times the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific P. Find the number of deluxe staterooms for each of the ships if the total number of deluxe staterooms for the three ships is 832.
Pacific P. has 139 deluxe rooms
Caribbean P. has 177 deluxe rooms
Mediterranean P. has 516 deluxe rooms
TIA
