Question

Three bags contain total 24 coconuts. First and second bag contains total 11 coconuts, second

and third bag contains total 18 coconuts. How many coconuts are there in first and third bag​

Answer 1

Answer:

19 coconuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Total coconuts = 24

⇒ 1 Bag A + 1 Bag B + 1 Bag C = 24 coconuts

⇒ 2 Bag A + 2 Bag B + 2 Bag C = 48 coconuts

Given:

Bag A + Bage B = 11 coconuts

Bag B + Bag C = 18 coconuts

Add them together:

⇒ 1 Bag A + 2 Bag B + 1 Bag C = 11 + 18 coconuts

⇒ 1 Bag A + 2 Bag B + 1 Bag C = 29 coconuts

Now we know:

2 Bag A + 2 Bag B + 2 Bag C = 48 coconuts --------- [ 1 ]

1 Bag A + 2 Bag B + 1 Bag C = 29 coconuts  --------- [ 2 ]

[ 1 ] - [ 2 ]:

1 Bag A + 1 Bag C = 48 - 29 coconuts

1 Bag A + 1 Bag C = 19 coconuts

Answer:  19 coconuts
