Answer :

The salesman used 460 order forms in total, when he used three types of order forms: a, b, c.

Given that,

A salesman used three types of order forms: a, b, c. he used 50 of form a. of form b he used four times as many as form a plus 1/2 as many as form c. he used as many of form c as form a plus 1/2 as many as form b

A = 50

B = 4A + 0.5C = 200+ 0.5C  .......... (i)

C =  A +  0.5B =  50 + 0.5 B  .......... (ii)

multiply (ii) with 2

B = 2C -50              .......... (iii)

B = 0.5C + 160        ...........(i)

subtract (i) from (iii)

0 = 1.5C -210

C = 420/3 = 140

put in (i)

B = 200 + 0.5(140) = 270

Total forms = A+B+C = 50 + 270 + 140 = 460

Therefore, he used 460 forms altogether.
