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?
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.
