Question

Jacky baked some biscuits.he kept 3/7 of the biscuits in container A.5/8 of the remainder in container B and rest in container C there were 168 more biscuits in container A than in container C.how many biscuits dud Jacky bake?

Answer 1

Let "b" represent the number of biscuits Jacky baked.
.. container A holds (3/7)b
.. container B holds (1 -3/7)*(5/8)b = (5/14)b
.. container C holds (1 -3/7 -5/14)b = (3/14)b = 168

Then
.. b = 168/(3/14) = 784

Jacky baked 784 biscuits.
