Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....

3(b-s)=27

b-s=9

b=9+s  we will use this in the second equation....

2(b+s)=30

b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:

9+s+s=15

2s+9=15

2s=6

s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so

b=12

So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph

6810 bottles produced last month (of all three kinds)
1/3 of the 6810 were orange = 2270 are the oranges so 6810-2270 = 4540 (both limes and apples)
apples = 3 * limes
apples count is N
limes count is n
N=3n
N+n=4540
3n+n=4540
4n=4540
n=1135 (limes)
N= 3n = 3405 (apples)
