Monday =y cheques
Tuesday =3y cheques
wednesday=4000 cheques
totaling to 16000 cheques
therefore y+3y+4000=16000 cheques
4y+4000=16000 cheques therefore 4y=16000-4000 cheques= 4y=12000cheques
therefore y=12000/4=3000 cheques
monday=3000 cheques
tuesday=3×3000=9000cheques

Let the number be X,
Instead of dividing the number by 10, i.e.,X*10.
he got the result as 100,
so, (X*10)=100
X=100/10
X=10.
BUt he has to divide X by 10,
so, X/10=10/10=1.
obviously the answer is 1.
So we consider the 2nd statement first. We can form an equation out of it.
14x-6=13y+3=9z+3
Using this, we can understand that the multiple of 14 and the multiple of 13 and 9 must have a difference of 9. The easiest way to ensure that is multiplying it by 9
14*9=126
13*9=117
If the 5th farmer gives 3 apples to the 4th farmer, they would have 123 and 120 apples respectively. However, we also know that the 2nd farmer has 117 apples (13*9=117, and this is a multiple of 9) if the 5th farmer gives 3 apples too the 2nd farmer, the 3rd, 4th and 5th farmers would have 120 apples each.
Now that we got 120, we should check if the first part of the question makes sense along with it. The equation would be
7a+1=11b-1=120
We know that 11*11=121 and 7*17=119. When we add 1 to 119 and subtract 1 from 121, we get 120 for each. In this way, all the farmers have 120 apples each.
Therefore, the 3rd farmer had a yield of 11 per tree and the 4th farmer had a yield of 9 per tree.
125% of s = 60
=> 1.25s = 60
=> s = 60*4/5
=> s = 48
60 – s = 60 – 48 = 12
Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.
Question
1440 * 3/4 = 1080
1080 / 30 = 36
1440 * 1/4 = 360
360 / 24 = 15
36 * 2 + 15 * 1 = 87
