Ijezie has twice as many apples as Muhammed and Mohamed has three times as many apples as Bamidele. If the three numbers have a total of 360 apples. Find the number owned by Muhammed

Answer 1

Let's start by assigning variables to the unknown quantities:

- Let B be the number of apples owned by Bamidele
- Then, Muhammed has three times as many apples as Bamidele, so M = 3B
- And Ijezie has twice as many apples as Muhammed, so I = 2M = 2(3B) = 6B

We know that the three quantities add up to 360 apples:

B + M + I = 360

Substituting the expressions for M and I in terms of B:

B + 3B + 6B = 360

10B = 360

B = 36

Now we can find M using the expression we found earlier:

M = 3B = 3(36) = 108

So Muhammed has 108 apples.
