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

Answer:

First box is 175g, second box is 150g, and third box is 125g

Step-by-step explanation:

f = First box, s = Second box, t = Third box

f = t + 50 (and) s = t + 25

f + s + t = 450g

= (t+50) + (t+25) + t = 450g

= 3t + 75 = 450g

= 3t = 375

= t = 125

f = t + 50

= f = 125 + 50

= f = 175

s = t + 25

= s = 125 + 25

= s = 150
