Problema Solution
30 marbles are to be divided into three bags so that the second bag has three times as many marbles as the first bag and the third bag has twice as many as the first bag. If X is the number of marbles in the first bag,find the number of marbles in each bag.
Answer provided by our tutors
X , 2X , 3X ARE THE NUMBERS OF MARBLES
SO X + 2X + 3X = 30
OR 6X = 30
OR X = 5
SO 5 IN FIRST BAG, 15 IN SECOND , 10 IN THIRD BAG
