Load
Written on 12:14 am by Vja Students
A mule and a donkey were carrying full sacks on their backs.
The mule started complaining that his load was too heavy. The donkey said to him "Why are you complaining? If you gave me one of your sacks I'd have double what you have and if I give you one of my sacks we'd have an even amount."
How many sacks were each of them carrying? Give the minimal possible answer.
Answer
