The problem statement gives a relation between the amount removed from one bag and the amount removed from the other. It asks for the amount remaining in each bag. Thus, there are several choices for variables in this problem, some choices resulting in more complicated equations than others.
Let's do it this way: let x represent the amount remaining in bag 1. Then the amount removed from bag 1 is (100-x). The amount remaining in bag 2 is 2x, so the amount removed from that bag is (100-2x). The problem statement tells us the relationship between amounts removed:
... (100 -x) = 3(100 -2x)
... 100 -x -3(100 -2x) = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side
... 5x -200 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses and collect terms
... x -40 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
... x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 40
- 40 kg is left in the first bag
- 80 kg is left in the second bag

The amount removed from the first bag is 60 kg. The amount removed from the second is 20 kg. The amount removed from the first bag is 3 times the amount removed from the second bag, as described.

Answer:
Choice D
Step-by-step explanation:
3 ÷ 4/5
We need to have 3 of something and divide it into 4/5
This eliminates choices B and C because those have 4/5 of something
Choice A is giving away which is subtracting
Choice D is 3 lbs divide into 4/5 lb groups
Answer:
The correct option is B
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point-slope form is:
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
where m is the slope and (x1,y1) a point on the line
here m=2 and (x1,y1)=(2,3)
substitute these values into the equation.
y-3 =2(x-2)
Thus the correct opttion is B....
