Keira, Larry and Gita picked apples at an orchard. Keira picked twice as many pounds as Larry and 3 times as many pounds as Gita. The total weight of the apples was 8,360. How many pounds of apples did each person pick?
Let x= Kiera, y=Larry, z=Gita "Kiera picked twice as many pounds as Larry" x=2y "Kiera picked 3 times as many pounds as Gita" x=3z "Total weight is 8360" x+y+z=8360 substitute in values x+y+z=8360 3z+1.5z+z=8360 z=1520 x= 3*1520=4560 y=4560/2=2280
