1 thought on “the weight of four boxes together 66.6 the weight of box B is 2kg less than box A and little weight of box C is 1.5kg more than bo”

1. Answer:

   From the given data we can write

   B=A−2

   C=A+1.5

   D=C+1.5=A+1.5+1.5=A+3

   We have A+B+C+D=66.5

   ⇒A+A−2+A+1.5+A+3=66.5

   ⇒4A=64

   ⇒A=16

   Therefore box A weighs 16kg, box B weighs 16−2=14kg, box C weighs 16+1.5=17.5kg and box D weighs 16+3=19kg

   Hence A weighs 16kg

   B weighs 14kg

   C weighs 17.5kg

   D weighs 19kg
