Hello game lovers, am playing a game full of puzzle and i have come across this toughest puzzle which will also permit me to continue the game only if i solve it... Its about 3 months i have been trying. Below is the question.


The tribe has grown wonderful harvest of crops.

The chief is very smart and 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 crops did the chief start with?

Goodluck!

This will come as an algebraic expression if we are to give an answer, it has too many unknown integers.

42.5

200 Tonnes.

1st Family 100

2nd 60

3rd 40


The chief started with 100
