There were 252 more cars than motorcycles in a car park. 1/4 of the number of cars was equal to 3/5 of the number of motorcycles. How many cars and motorcycles were there altogether?
c = 252 + m
1/4 c = 3/5 m Sub in the red equation for c
1/4 (252 + m) = 3/5 m
63 + 1/4 m = 3/5 m
63 = 7/20 m
m = 180 then c = 432
