Question

1. Christopher has three boxes of different chocolates. First box
weighs 50g more than the third box and second box weighs 25 g
more than the third box. If the total weight of three boxes is 450g.
find the weight of each box,​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the weight of second box be x

weight of first box = x + 50 g

weight of third box = x + 25 g

total weight of three boxes = 450 g

According To the question,

x + ( x + 50 ) + ( x + 25 ) = 450

3x + 75 = 450

3x = 450 - 75

3x = 375

x = 375 / 3

x = 125

weight of first box = 175

weight of second box = 125

weight of third box = 150
