Answer:
49 emails.
Explanation:
Let the number of emails received by Nicky each day = x
Since David gets half as many emails a day as his wife Nicky does
The number of emails received by David each day = x/2
Together they have a total of 147 emails for today.
Therefore:
[tex]x+\frac{x}{2}=147[/tex]We then solve for x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{2}x=147 \\ x=147\times\frac{2}{3} \\ =98 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the number of emails received by David
=98/2
=49 emails.
