Question

Divide 25 oranges among 3 boys . A, B,C so that B gets 3 more than A and C half as many as B

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A get x oranges.

so, B get x+3 and C get x+3/2.

now, x+x+3+x+3/2=25.

or, 2x+3+x+3/2= 25.

or, 4x+6+x+3/2=25.

or, 5x+9=25×2.

or, 5x= 50-9.

or, x= 41/5.

so, A will get 41/5, B will get 56/5 and C will get 56/10oranges.
