A salesman sold twice as much pears in the afternoon than in the morning. If he sold $360 kilograms of pears that day, how many kilograms did he sell in the morning and how many in the afternoon?
Select the correct option:	A) 120	B) 180	C) 240	D) 280	E) 320
Let x be the number of kilograms he sold in the morning.Then in the afternoon he sold 2x kilograms. So, the total is x+2x=3x. This must be equal to 360.   3x=360   x=3603   x=120   Therefore, the salesman sold 120 kg in the morning and 2⋅120=240 kg in the afternoon. So answer is 240.
