A storage room is used to store packaged toys for a certain toy manufacturer. A packaged toy car occupies a volume of 2 cubic feet, and a packaged toy plane occupies a volume of 1 cubic foot. If 100 cubic feet of the storage room are occupied by packaged toy cars and planes, and there are twice as many toy cars as toy planes, how many packaged toy cars are in the storage room?

A) 10
B) 20
C) 30
D) 40
E) 50

Planes = x, Cars = 2x
Car occupies 2 cubic feet, Plane occupies 1
2(2x) + x = 100
5x = 100
x = 20

Car = 40, Planes = 20

Hi,

I am very confused in this type of word problem:" There are twice as many toy cars as toy planes."

Can you please tell me what wording of the question will be for the following

2 Toy=1 Plane
1Plane= 2 Toy

D) 40
E) 50

The line “There are twice as many toy cars as toy planes” means: Number of toy cars = 2 * Number of toy planes, or C = 2P.

If you want wording for P = 2C (i.e., twice as many planes as cars), then it would be: “There are twice as many toy planes as toy cars.” Or: “For every toy car, there are two toy planes.”
