Question 1025435: a father weighs 14kgs more than the weight of his wife. his wife weighs 23kgs more than his daughter, who weighs 29kgs. calculate their average weight in kgs

f = father's weight
w = wife's weight
d = daughter's weight.
the daughter weights 29 kgs.
since the wife weighs 23 kgs more than the daughter, then the wife weighs 29 + 23 = 52 kgs
since the father weighs 14 kgs more than his wife, then the father weighs 14 + 52 = 66 kgs.
you get:
f = 66
w = 52
d = 29
the sum of their weights is 66 + 52 + 29 = 147 kgs.
the average of their weights is 147 / 3 = 49 kgs.
