Question

Jane, Andre, and Maria pick apples.Andre pick three times as many pounds as maria. Jane picks two times as many pounds as Andre. The total weight of apples is 840 pounds. How many pounds does Andre pick?

Answer 1

504 pounds of apples is the answer

Answer 2

We know that
a=3m
j=2a
j+a+m=840

since we have values for our variables we can start putting them in:
2a+3m+m=840
2*3m+3m+m=840
6m+3m+m=840
10m=840
m=84

A=3*84
a=252
so the answer is Andre picked  pounds.<span />
