Question

A supermarket has a total of 1350 packs of milk, including full cream , low fat and skimmed milk . There are 150 more packs of skimmed milk than low fat milk . How man packets are full cream , if there are 465 packs of low fat milk

Answer 1

Let's call the number of packs of skimmed milk "S" and the number of packs of full cream milk "F".

We know that the total number of packs of milk is 1350:

F + L + S = 1350

We also know that there are 150 more packs of skimmed milk than low fat milk:

S = L + 150

And we know that there are 465 packs of low fat milk:

L = 465

We can substitute L=465 into the equation S=L+150 to get:

S = 465 + 150 = 615

Now we can use the first equation to solve for F:

F + L + S = 1350

F + 465 + 615 = 1350

F = 270

Therefore, there are 270 packs of full cream milk.
