Question

there are 63 counters in total. the total number of counters in box A and box B is 36. the difference between box A and C is 10. work out the number of counters in each box

Answer 1

A 17, B 19, C 27

Explanation:

A + B = 36

A + B + C = 63

63 - 36 = 27, which is C

C - A = 10

27 - A = 10

A = 17

A + B + C = 63

17 + B + 27 = 63

63 - 44 = 19
