[Data Assessment] Help with some word problems.

:snoo_feelsbadman: Mathematics (A-Levels/Tertiary/Grade 11-12)

Hello! I'm preparing for an exam and am having trouble solving these 2 problems I found on a practice test. I’m having trouble eliminating/isolating a single variable. Can anyone teach me how to solve these?

  1. Find the % floor space occupied by each vendor
    a. Software vendors - The area for software vendors + service vendors + twice the area for hardware Vendors = 560,640 sq ft
    b. Service Vendors - The area for service vendors + hardware vendors + security vendors = 449,680 sq ft
    c. Harware Vendors - no data given
    d. Security Vendors - The area for security vendors + software vendors = 356,240 sq ft
  2. Find the quantity of each vegetable
    a. A total of 2,400 tomatoes were harvested
    b. Corn and green beans account for 50% of all vegetables
    c . Peppers and corn account for the same number of vegetables as zucchini
    d. Peppers and zucchini combined account for 50% more vegetables than tomatoes
    e. Corn and zucchini combined account for 1/5 of all vegetables

Thank you!
