Andre picked 252 pounds of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pounds of apple picked by Jane.

Let y = number of pounds of apple picked by Andre

Let z = number of pounds of apple picked by Maria

Andre picks three times as many pounds as maria. It means that

y = 3z

Jane picks two times as many pounds as Andre. It means that

x = 2y

The total weight of the apples is 840 pounds. It means that

x + y + z = 840 - - - - - - - - - 1

We will substitute z = y/3 and x = 2y into equation 1

2y + y + y/3 = 840

Cross multiplying with 3

6y + 3y + y = 2520

10y = 2520

y = 2520/10 = 252

x = 2y = 252× 2 = 504

z = y/3 = 252/3 = 84

if this is really you s much. i only have 3 points left and i have 2 questions to ask
