    Problem 1 

    A salesman sold twice as much pears in


    the afternoon than in the morning. If he
    sold 360 kilograms of pears that day, how many
    kilograms did he sell in the morning and how many in
    the afternoon?
    Solution:
    Let x be the number of kilograms he sold in the
    morning.Then in the afternoon he sold 2xkilograms.
    So, the total is x+2x=3x. This must be equal to 360.
    3x=360
    x=3603
    x=120
    Therefore, the salesman sold 120 kg in the morning
    and 2⋅120=240 kg in the afternoon.
    Problem 2 Mary, Peter, and Lucy were picking
    chestnuts. Mary picked twice as much chestnuts than
    Peter. Boris picked 2 kg more than Peter. Together
    the three of them picked 26 kg of chestnuts. How
    many kilograms did each of them pick?
    Solution:
    Let x be the amount Peter picked. Then Mary and
    Lucy picked 2x and x+2, respectively. So 
    x+2x+x+2=26
    4x=24
    x=6
    Therefore, Peter, Mary, and Lucy picked 6, 12,
    and 8 kg, respectively.
    Problem 3 
    Sophia finished 23 of a book. She calculated that she
    finished 90 more pages than she has yet to read. How
    long is her book?
    Solution:
    Let x be the total number of pages in the book, then
    she finished 23⋅x pages.
    Then she has x−23⋅x=13⋅x pages left. 
    23⋅x−13⋅x=90
    13⋅x=90
    x=270
    So the book is 270 pages long.
