Explanation
Correct answer: 60000.
It’s given that the weight of sample A is of the weight of sample B and of the weight of sample C. Let the weight of sample B be and the weight of sample C be . Then, the weight of sample A is equivalent to , or , and also equivalent to , or . Setting these expressions equal to each other yields . Dividing both sides of this equation by yields , or . If the weight of sample C is of the weight of sample B, then . Since and , it follows that , or . Multiplying both sides of this equation by yields . Therefore, the value of is .
