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
