Country A produces about six times the amount of diamonds in carats produced in country B.If the total produced in both countries is 28,000,000 carats



Answer :

The diamonds produced by country A and B are 24,000,000 and 4,000,000 carats respectively.

Here, we are given that Country A produces about six times the amount of diamonds in carats produced in country B.

Let the diamonds produced by country B be x

Then, the diamonds produced by country A will be 6x

The total diamonds produced by the two countries = 28,000,000

Thus, we can get the following equation-

x + 6x = 28,000,000

7x = 28,000,000

x = 28,000,000/ 7

x = 4,000,000

⇒ 6x = 24,000,000

Thus, the diamonds produced by country A and B are 24,000,000 and 4,000,000 carats respectively.
