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?	Choose the correct option
A) 120 B) 180 C) 240 D) 280 E) 320

Rationale: "let x be the number of kilograms he sold in the morning . then in the afternoon he sold 2 x kilograms . so , the total is x + 2 x = 3 x . this must be equal to 360 . 3 x = 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 c ."
Answer: C
