Question

Jacky bakes some biscuits. he keeps 3/7 of the biscuits in container a, 5/8 the remainder in container b, and the rest in container c. there are 21 more biscuits in a than c. how many biscuits does jacky bake?​

Answer 1

Answer:

98

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total no. biscuits be x

then the biscuit in container a= 3/7x

remaining biscuit = x-3/7x =4/7x

biscuit in container b = 5/8 × 4/7x= 5/14x

biscuit in container c = x-3/7x+5/14x =3/14×

a/q

3/7x = 3/14x + 21

x= 98
