1. In a weight-lifting competition, the total weight of Joe's two lifts was 750 pounds. Twice the weight of his first lift was 300 pounds more than the weight of his second lift. What was the weight, in pounds, of his first lift?
- A. 225
- B. 225
- C. 225
- D. 225
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Suppose, first lift weight = x pound
second lift weight = (750 - x) pound
as per condition, 2x = 300 + 750-x
2x + x = 1050
3x = 1050
x = 350
So, the weight of his first lift was 350 pounds (Ans.)
