Boxes A, B and C contain 480 oranges altogether. 1/3 of the oranges in Box A were put into Box B. Then 1/5 of the Oranges in Box B were put into Box C. Finally, 1/6 of the oranges in Box C were put into Box A. There was an equal number of oranges in box at the end. How many oranges did each box contain at first.
We can solve this by working backwords.
At the end each box has 160 oranges so before we move 1/6 of the oranges from box C to box A there must be (128,160,192) oranges in the boxes A,B and C. So before we moved 1/5 of the oranges from box B to box C we must have had (128,200,152) oranges in the boxes. So before we moved 1/3 from A to B we must have had (192,136,152) oranges in each box which is the final answer
Its very puzzle , I cant solve this
