Three bags, R, S and T contained a certain number of cartoon figurines. Bag T contained
16 as many cartoon figurines as R and S combined. There were 72 more cartoon figurines in Bag R than in Bag T. Bag S contained 116 more cartoon figurines than Bag T. How many cartoon figurines were in Bag S?
Bag R |
Bag S |
Bag T |
Total |
6 u |
1 u |
7 u |
1 u + 72 |
1 u + 116 |
|
|
The total number of cartoon figurines in Bag R and Bag S is repeated.
1 u + 72 + 1 u + 116 = 6 u
2 u + 188 = 6 u
6 u - 2 u = 188
4 u = 188
1 u = 188 ÷ 4 = 47
Number of cartoon figurines in Bag S
= 1 u + 116
= 1 x 47 + 116
= 163
Answer(s): 163
