find how many apples each person pick at the first
Q:Three people picked 65 apples altogether. At the first tree they each picked the same number of apples. At the second tree they each picked 3 times as many as they picked at the first tree. When they finished at the third tree, the group had 5 times as many apples as they had when they started at that tree. At the fourth tree the group picked just 5 apples. How many apples did each person pick at the first tree?

Saandeep SreerambatlaEveryone picked one apple each at the first tree.
3a+9a by the end of second tree.
By the end of third tree as per condition total = 5*12a = 60a
so 60a+5 = 65.
a = The number of apples taken by each person at the first tree.
