Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let pickle bought by alexa =x
then according to given condition ,
pickle bought by Tom= (1/3) of Alexa
pickle bought by Tom= (1/3) x
hence also given
totall pickle cost = Tom cost + alexa cost = 56p
(1/3)x+x=56
taking L.C.M
(4/3)x=56
x=56*3/4
x=42 p
so it means,
Alexa cost = x = 42p
Tom cost = (1/3)x= (1/3)*42 = 14 p
