Question

Shipra has three boxes A, B and C. Box A weighs 12/4 kg more than box B and box C weights 11/4
kg more than box B. If the total weight of the three boxes is 72 kg, find the weight of box C​

Answer 1

Answer:

≈24.9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of Box B be b .

=> Weight of Box C = b + 2¾ i.e. b + 2.75

=> Weight of Box A = b + 3

Total weight = b + b + 2.75 + b + 3 = 72 kg

=> 3b = 72 - 5.75 kg

=> b = 66.25 ÷ 3 ≈ 22.1 kg

Therefore , weight of :

a) Box B ≈ 22.1 kg

b) Box C ≈ 24.85 kg

c) Box A ≈ 25.1 kg
