Question

Garden one has 9 more bushes of red currant than garden two. If 3 bushes were transplanted from garden two to garden one, then garden one would have 1.5 times more bushes than garden two. How many currant bushes are there in garden one?

Answer 1

Garden one=two+9
Garden one+3=1.5*(two+9-3)
Garden two+9+3=1.5*(two+9-3)
Garden two+12=1.5*(two+6)
Garden two+12=1.5*two+9
3=0.5*two
Garden two=6
Garden one=two+9
Garden one=6+9
Garden one=15 

Answer 2

42 bushes  in garden 1
