Jane, andre, and maria pick apples. andre picks 3 times as many pounds as maria. jane picks 2 times as many pounds as andre. the total weight of the apples is 840 pounds. how many pounds of apples does andre pick? a) 84 pounds b) 252 pounds c) 504 pounds d) 840 pounds

Let Maria = X

Andre = 3x ( 3 times as many as Maria)

Jane = 2(3x) = 6x ( 2 times as many as Andre)

All 3 need to equal 840 pounds:

X + 3x + 6X = 840

Combine like terms:

10X = 840

Divide both sides by 10:

X = 840 / 10

X = 84

Maria = X = 84 pounds

Andre = 3x = 3(84) = 252 pounds

Jane = 6x = 6(84) = 504 pounds

504 + 252 + 84 = 840 pounds.

Andre picked 252 pounds.
