Question

Two​ trains, Train A and Train​ B, weigh a total of 385 tons. Train A is heavier than Train B. The difference of their weights is 227 tons. What is the weight of each​ train?

Answer 1

Train A is 296 tons and Train B is 79 tons

Explanation:

Total weight is 385, with the weight difference of 227.

Subtract the weight difference of the 2 trains from the total to get 158.

We can then divide 158 by 2 to get the weight of Train B, 79 tons.

We know the Train A is 227 tons heavier than train B, so we add 227+79 to get 296.
