Answer/Solution
120
Steps/Work
Let x be the number of timeshare condos available at Playa del Mar.
Then number of timeshare condos available at Sunset Beach = 3/5x
We know, x + 2/5 x = 280
Hence, x = 200. So, number of timeshare condos available at Playa del Mar = 200
the difference between the number of condos available at Sunset Beach and the number of condos available at Playa del Mar = x - 2/5x = 2/5x = 3/5(200) = 120
The correct answer is C
