Question 1163309: How many items are in each box if 900 items are divided among three boxes such the first box contains half of the second box while the third box contains thrice of the first box Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x equals the number of items in the first box.
2x equals the number of items in the second box.
3x equals the number of items in the third box.
total is 6x = 900
x = 900 / 6 = 150
first box contains 150
second box contains 300
third bot contains 450
that's your solution.
