Question 284285
Mr. A owned 60% of a mill and Mr. B the remainder. Mr. A sold part of what he owned to Mr. B for $1,200, and then Mr. B owned as much as Mr. A. At this rate, how much is the total value of the mill?

let the value of the mill be $x

A owned 3/5 * x  = 3x/5

B owned 2/5*x= 2x/5

3x/5-1200 = 2x/5 

x/5=1200

x=6000
