Warehouses

A company stored a total of 70 tonnes of grain across three warehouses. The second warehouse held 8.5 t less than the first, and the third held 3.5 t more than the first. How many tonnes of grain were stored in each warehouse?

Final Answer:

a =  25 t
b =  16.5 t
c =  28.5 t

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c=70  t b = a  8.5  t c = a + 3.5  t  a+(a8.5)+(a+3.5)=70  3a=75  a=375=25  a=25=25 t
b=a8.5=258.5=16.5 t
c=a+3.5=25+3.5=28.5 t
