Question

How do you do this? I need help

Answer 1

Hi,

8 Pckts  each has 500 g weight .Total weight would be 8*500=4000g
and she arranged them into 3 boxes.

assume those three boxes are X,Y,Z first,second,thrid respectively.
X+Y+Z=4000g--------------------1

then according to the statement first box is twice heavy as second one
means X=2Y----------------2

and thrid box is 60g heavier than second box.
Z=Y+60--------------------3
put those values in to eq 1

2Y+Y+Z=4000
3Y+Y+60=4000
4Y=4000-60
4Y=3940
Y=985
second box weight is 985 gram

Answer 2

8x500= 4000g

4000-60=3940g

3940 divide 2 =1970g

the second box is 1970g

well i am pretty sure it is
