Coal storage

The coal storage distribution received coal shipment within three days. On the first day, distribute a third of the shipments, on the second day of two-fifths of the rest, and on the third day, 300 tons of coal. How many tons of coal were distributed first and second days?

Final Answer:

a =  250 t
b =  200 t

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+300 = t a = t/3 b = 2/5(t  a)  t/3+2/5(tt/3)+300=t  t/3+2/5 (tt/3)+300=t  6t=4500  t=64500=750  t=750  a=t/3=750/3=250 t
b=t300a=750300250=200 t
