A and B are two partially filled buckets of water. If 8 liters are transferred from A to B, then A would contain one-third of the amount of water in B. Alternatively, if 8 liters are transferred from B to A, B would contain one-half of the amount of water in A. Bucket A contains how many liters of water?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 88/5	B) 13	C) 17	D) 21	E) 23
Let Bucket 88/5 be 88/5 and Bucket B be B   Scenario 1   88/5-8 = 1/3 (B+8) ----&gt; 388/5-24 =B+8   Scenario 2   B-8 = 1/2 (88/5+8) -----&gt; 2B-16 = 88/5+8   From Scenario 1, B = 388/5-32   Substitute B with this information in Stmt 2   2 (388/5-32) -16 = 88/5+8 ------&gt; 688/5 -64-16 = 88/5+8 ------&gt; 688/5- 88/5 = 80+8 ---&gt; 588/5= 88   88/5= 88/5, 88/5nswer choice 88/5
