Question

Vinay bought a pizza and cut it into three pieces. When he weighed the first piece he found that it was 7g lighter than the second piece and 4g.heavier than the third piece. If the whole pizza weighed 300g. How much did each of the three pieces weigh?

Answer 1

Answer:

A)93g

B)104g

C)100g

Step-by-step explanation:

whole pizza weight 300g,

so let weight of piece C be x;

piece B be x+4,

piece A be x-7

Answer 2

Answer:

Let's take the weights of each slice of pizza as x , y , z.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+7=y .....eq.1

x-4=z ......eq.2

x + y + z = 300

Using eq.1 and 2

=> x + x + 7 + x - 4 = 300

=> 3x + 3 = 300

=> 3x = 300 - 3

=> x = 297/3

=> x = 99.

Therefore , First slice weighed (x) = 99g

Second slice weighed (x+7) = 99 + 7 = 106g

Third slice wwighed (x-4) = 99 - 4 = 95g.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day !
