Question

I know twice as many jokes as my friend does. Together we know 60 different jokes. My friend and I both know the same three jokes. How many jokes do I know? How many jokes does my friend know?

Answer 1

Answer:

You know 40 jokes and your friend knows 20 jokes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given you know twice as many jokes as your friend knows

Let the number of jokes your friend knows be x , then the number of jokes known by yourself will be 2x

Given together you both know 60 jokes

Total number of jokes = number of jokes known by yourself + number of jokes known by your friend

60 = x + 2x

x = 20

Therefore you know 40 jokes and your friend knows 20 jokes

Answer 2

Answer:

You would know 40 and they would know 20

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you know 2 times more and 40+20=60 so the math would add up to you knowing 40 and them knowing 20!!
