The first truck carries 35 tons less rice than the second truck. The number of paddy in the first truck is 2/3 of the amount in the second truck. How many tons of paddy does each cart hold?

Answer:

First truck = x

Second truck = y

x + 35 = y

x = 2/3y

So

2/3y +35=y

1/3y = 35

y = 35*3

y = 105

And ,

x = 2/3y = 70

The first truck carry 70 tons while the second carry 105 tons

  • Let the amount the first truck can carry be x

  • Let the amount the second can carry be y

If the first truck carries 35 tons less rice than the second truck, then;

x = y - 35

If the number of paddy in the first truck is 2/3 of the amount in the second truck

x = 2/3 y

Equate both to have:

2/3 y = y - 35

2/3y - y = -35

-y/3 = -35

y = 105

Since x = 2/3 y

x = 2/3 * 105

x = 70

Hence the first truck carry 70 tons while the second carry 105 tons
