Given: 1) weight of Dylan= 45 pounds
2) weight of Alan= 3 pounds more than twice the weight of Dylan
3)weight of Bruce = 12 pounds less than three times the weight of
Dylan.
To Find: How much more does Bruce weighs than Alan .
Solution:
weight of Dylan= 45 pounds
weight of Alan= 3 pounds more than twice the weight of Dylan
= 3 + ( 2×45) pounds
= (3+ 90) pounds
= 93 pounds
weight of Bruce= 12 pounds less than three times the weight of Dylan
= (3× 45) - 12 pounds
= (135) - 12 pounds
= 123 pounds
therefore, the amount by which Bruce weighs more than Alan will be given by:
weight of Bruce - weight of Alan
= 123 pounds - 93 pounds
= 30 pounds
Hence, Bruce weighs 30 pounds more than Alan.
