Question

vijay bought a pizza and cut it into 3 pieces. when he weighted the first piece he found that it was 7 grams lighter than the second piece and 4 grams heavier than the third piece. if the whole Pizza weighted 300 gm. how much did each of the three pieces weight

Answer 1

Let the weight of first pizza piece be 'x'.
Then weight of second pizza piece=x+7
and weight of third piece=x-4
Total weight of pizza=300
Now ,we have
x+x+7+x-4=300

3x+3=300

3(x+1)=300

x+1=100

x=99
Hence the weight of first piece=99gm
weight of second piece=106gm
weight of third piece=95gm.
