Henry Heavtweight weighs 1000 N and stands on a pair of bathroom scales so that one scale reads twice as much as the other. What is the greater scale reading? What is the lesser scale reading?

Greater scale 667

Lesser scale 333

Explanation:

Since the greater scale reads twice, lets say 2x and the lesser one x then total 2x+x=3x=1000 N

x=1000/3 = 333.33

Approximately lesser scale is 334 N

Greater scale = 1000-333=667
