Jane, andre, and maria pick apples. andre picks three times as many pounds maria. jane picks two times pounds as andre. the total weight of apples is 840 pounds. how many pounds of apples does andre pick?

Andre picks 252 pounds of apples.

Further explanation:

Jane, Andre and Maria pick apples such that the apples picked by Jane are denoted by J, the apples picked by Andre are denoted by A and the apples picked by Maria are denoted by M.

The total weight of apples is 840 pounds.

Therefore, this can be written as,

                  ......

Andre picks three times as many pounds Maria then ..

Jane picks two times pounds as Andre then  ..

Substitute 3M for A in the equation to obtain relation between J and M as,

Now, substitute 3M for A and 6M for J in equation (1) then we get,

Therefore, Maria picks 84 pounds of apples.

Substitute the obtained value of as 84 in equation as,

Therefore, Jane picks 504 pounds of apples.

Substitute the obtained value of as 84 in equation  as,

Therefore, Andre picks 252 pounds of apples.

Thus, the total quantity that Andre picks is .

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
