Question

The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 kilograms more than the average weight of one okapi. On average, how much does an okapi weigh, and how much does a llama weigh?

Answer 1

Let K=average weight of an okapi and L=that of a llama.
3L=K+190 and K+L=450 so K=450-L. Therefore 3L=450-L+190, 4L=640, L=160kg and K=450-160=290kg.
Okapi weighs 290kg, llama weighs 160kg.
