Answer 1

Answer:

cynthia picked = 12

Bessy Picked = 36

Aicel picked = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say cynthia picked guavava  = G

bessy picked 3times as many as cynthia did

=> Bessy Picked Guavava = 3*G  = 3G

aicel picked twice as bessy did

=> Aicel picked guavava = 2 * 3G  = 6G

Total Guavav picked = G + 3G + 6G  = 10G

10G = 120

=> G = 12

cynthia picked = 12

Bessy Picked = 36

Aicel picked = 72
