Question

The first basket contains 48 peaches. The second basket contains 50 peaches. How many peaches must you transfer from the first basket to the second on so that the number of peaches in the second basket is 6 times that of the first one?​

Answer 1

Hence, answer is 34 peaches

Explanation:

Analysis : Total peaches = 48 + 50

= 98

Let first one contained x peaches

: second basket will contain 6x peaches

--> x + 6x = 98

--> 7x = 98

--> x = 98/7 = 14

: 48 - 14 = 34 peaches will transfer from the first basket to second one
