Question

A salesman sold twice as much pears in the afternoon than in the morning. If he sold 360 kilograms of pears that day, how many kilograms did he sell in the morning and how many in the afternoon?

Answer 1

120 kg in morning and 240 kg in afternoon

Explanation:

x+2x=360 kg

Work:

x + 2x = 360 kg

3x = 360 kg

3x/3 = 360 kg/3

x = 120

2x=2(120 kg) =240 kg

Final Answer:

So, 120 kg in morning and 240 kg in the afternoon.

Hope this helps!
