Question

Alla and balla together drink 750ML of water. Of alla drinks 50% more than balla how much does Alla drink

Answer 1

Answer:

450 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of water drank by Alla and y be the amount of water drank by Balla.

We have been given that Alla and Balla together drink 750 ML of water. We can represent this information as:

$x+y=750...(1)$  

We are also told that Alla drinks 50% more than Balla. We can represent this information as:

$x=1.5y...(2)$

From equation (1) we will get,

$y=750-x$  

Upon substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

$x=1.5(750-x)$

Upon distributing 1.5 to right hand side of the equation we will get,

$x=1125-1.5x$

Upon adding 1.5x to both sides of equation we will get,

$x+1.5x=1125-1.5x+1.5x$

$2.5x=1125$

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2.5.

$\frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{1125}{2.5}$

$x=450$

Therefore, Alla drank 450 ml of water.
