To solve this problem, you need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the weight of one bag of wheat is "w" pounds.
According to the first statement, three bags of wheat weigh the same as one bag of wheat, one bag of corn, and five bags of oats. So we can write the equation:
3w = w + 1 * 10 + 5 * 25
Since one bag of corn weighs 10 pounds, and one bag of oats weighs 25 pounds.
Now, let's simplify the equation:
3w = w + 10 + 125
Combining like terms:
3w = w + 135
Subtracting w from both sides:
3w - w = 135
2w = 135
Dividing both sides by 2:
w = 135 / 2
w = 67.5
Therefore, one bag of wheat weighs 67.5 pounds.
3w + 2c + t = w + c + 5t
2w = 4t -c
2c +t =25
c = 10
so 2(10) + t = 25 t = 5
2w = 4(5) -10
w = 5
