Question

Two trains, Train A and Train B, weigh a total of 267 tons. Train A is heavier than train B. The difference of their weights is 87 tons . What is the weight of each train?

Answer 1

Answer:

train a weighs 177 and train b weighs 90

Step-by-step explanation:

train a weighs 87 more tons than train b but both combined is 267.

a + b = 267

267 - 87 = 180

divide by two to get the weight of train b

180/2 = 90

add the 87 to find the weight of train a

90 + 87 = 177

check

90 + 90 + 87 = 267
