Answer:
The salesman sold 120 kg of pears in the morning and 240 kg of pears in the afternoon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of pears sold in the morning.
2x, amount of pears sold in the afternoon.
x + 2x = 360 kg
Solution:
x + 2x = 360 kg
3x = 360 kg
3x/3 = 360 kg/3
x = 120
He sold 120 kg of pears in the morning.
2x = 2(120 kg) = 240 kg
He sold 240 kg of pears in the afternoon.
Final Answer:
The salesman sold 120 kg of pears in the morning and 240 kg of pears in the afternoon.
