Question

Trains Two trains, Train A and Train B, weigh a total of 188 tons. Train A is heavier than Train B. The difference of their

weights is 34 tons. What is the weight of each train?

Answer 1

Explanation:

A + B = 188

A = 188 - B - (1)

Now,

A - B = 34

188 - B - B = 34 (Substituting eqn 1 in A)

188 - 34 = 2B

154 = 2B

• B = 77 tons

Now

A = 188 - B

A = 188 - 77

A = 111 tons
