A and B are two partially filled buckets of water. If 3 liters are transferred from A to B, then A would contain one-third of the amount of water in B. Alternatively, if 3 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?	Choices:	A) 36/5	B) 13	C) 17	D) 21	E) 23
Let Bucket 36/5 be 36/5 and Bucket B be B   Scenario 1   36/5-3 = 1/3 (B+3) ----&gt; 336/5-9 =B+3   Scenario 2   B-3 = 1/2 (36/5+3) -----&gt; 2B-6 = 36/5+3   From Scenario 1, B = 336/5-12   Substitute B with this information in Stmt 2   2 (336/5-12) -9 = 36/5+3 ------&gt; 636/5 -24-9 = 36/5+3 ------&gt; 636/5- 36/5 = 33+3 ---&gt; 536/5= 36   36/5= 36/5, 36/5nswer choice 36/5
