A hospital needs a supply of an expensive medicine.

The number of milligrams the hospital can get is 3.45 milligrams.

Supply available :

Company A = 1.5 milligram

Let :

Company B's supply = b

Company B's supply = b Company C's supply = c

1.5 = 2(b - c) - - - (1)

1.5 = 0.9 + c - - - (2)

From (2)

1.5 - 0.9 = c

0.6 = c

Put c = 0.6 in (1) to find b

1.5 = 2(b - 0.6)

1.5 = 2b - 1.2

1.5 + 1.2 = 2b

2.7 = 2b

b = 2.7 / 2

b = 1.35 milligrams

The total supply the hospital can get is :

(1.35 + 0.6 + 1.5) milligrams = 3.45 milligrams

The number of milligrams the hospital can get is 3.45 milligrams.
