Let’s
assign variables for each workers

Let x = number of boxes sorted by worker 1

Let y = number of boxes sorted by worker 2

Let Z = number of boxes sorted by worker 1


=> X = 3Y

=> X = 2Z

The equation would be:

=> X + Y + Z = 66

=> X + X/3 + X/2 = 66

=> 6X + 2 X + 3 X = 396

=> 11 X = 396

=> 11X / 11 = 396 / 11

=> X = 36


X = 36

Y = 36 / 3 = 12

Z = 36 / 2 =  18

=> 36 + 12 + 18 = 66
