Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of computers sold by Joe be represented by variable X
If Jonathan sold 5 times as many computers , it means he sold 5 times X= 5X
Total number of computers sold by both Jonathan and Joe = 78
Hence, X+5X =78
= 6X = 78
Divide both sides by 6 to solve for X;
X = 78/6
X = 13
And 5X = (5* 13) = 65
Therefore, Jonathan sold 65 computers while Joe sold 13
