I finished my pre algebra class last December with a B. I am now starting Business Math 110 and I am so frustrated with my abilities to understand applications of equations or word problems.
I would appreciate any help that I could get on explaining how to get the answer to this problem.
* The number of cars going north-south was 3/4 of those going east-west, and the total number of cars was 1400. Find the number of cars going north-south and east-west.
I am trying to set this up as an equation to solve and I am lost. Can anyone help explain it? Are there any suggestions for web sites that help explain how to set up word problems?
