    Pacific Paradise deluxe state rooms=116

    Caribbean Paradise deluxe state rooms = 127

    Mediterranean Paradise deluxe state rooms = 333

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, the numbers are doubled, the correct values are:

    Caribbean Paradise has 11 more deluxe staterooms than the Pacific Paradise.

    Mediterranean Paradise has 15 fewer deluxe staterooms than three times the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise.

    Total number of deluxe staterooms for the three ships is 576.

    So, to solve we have to write 3 equations.

    C = 11 + P

    M = P3-15

    C+M+P = 576

    Where:

    C: number of Caribbean Paradise deluxe state rooms M: number of Mediterranean Paradise deluxe state rooms P: number of Pacific Paradise deluxe state rooms

    Replacing values in the total ships equation:

    (11 + P) + (P3-15) + P = 576

    Solving for P:

    11 - 15 + P+P+3P = 576

    -4 + 5P = 576

    5P = 576+4

    5P = 580

    P = 580/5

    P=116

    Replacing P in each ship's equation

    C = 11 + P = 11 + (116) = 127

    M = 3P - 15 = 3 (116) - 15 = 333
