Question

If the weight of a package is multiplied by 3/7 the result is 28.5 kg. What is the weigh of the package?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be its weight.

x * 3/7 = 28.5

x = 7/3 * 28.5

x = 7 * 9.5

x = 66.5 kg

Answer 2

The weight of the package is 66.5 kg.

GIVEN

The weight of a package is multiplied by 3/7 the result is 28.5 kg.

TO FIND

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

Let the Initial weight of the package be x kg

It is given that when 3/7 is multiplied to the weight the result is 28.5 kg

The linear equation thus formed;

$x \times \frac{3}{7} = 28.5$

Solving the above equation for x

We get,

$x = \frac{28.5 \times 7}{3}$

x = 66.5 kg

Hence, The weight of the package is 66.5 kg.
