Can u solve this riddle: The tribe has grown a wonderful harvest of crops. The chief is very smart and he has allocated all the crops to three families with different sizes to each family, he gives 10 tons more than half of what remains after he has given to the previous family. How many tons of crop did the chief start with?
10 + 1/2X = 80 ; where X is the total harvest of the chief 1/2X = 80-10 X = 2 (70) X = 140 tons
