Aslam has one and half times as many as Akram, and Akram has one and half as many as Abdul. Altogether they have 76. How many has each?
Answer: Aslam 36, Akram 24, Abdul 16
Explanation
Let's denote the number of items Abdul has as x.
Akram has one and a half times as many as Abdul:
Akram = 1.5x
Aslam has one and a half times as many as Akram:
Aslam = 1.5 * 1.5x = 2.25x
The total number of items is 76:
x + 1.5x + 2.25x = 76
4.75x = 76
x = 16
Now, let's find the number of items each has:
Abdul: x = 16
Akram: 1.5x = 1.5 * 16 = 24
Aslam: 2.25x = 2.25 * 16 = 36
So, Aslam has 36, Akram has 24, and Abdul has 16.
