Three packets, L, M and N contained a certain number of cartoon figurines. Packet N contained
17 as many cartoon figurines as L and M combined. There were 83 more cartoon figurines in Packet L than in Packet N. Packet M contained 147 more cartoon figurines than Packet N. How many cartoon figurines were in Packet M?
Packet L |
Packet M |
Packet N |
Total |
7 u |
1 u |
8 u |
1 u + 83 |
1 u + 147 |
|

The total number of cartoon figurines in Packet L and Packet M is repeated.
1 u + 83 + 1 u + 147 = 7 u
2 u + 230 = 7 u
7 u - 2 u = 230
5 u = 230
1 u = 230 ÷ 5 = 46
Number of cartoon figurines in Packet M
= 1 u + 147
= 1 x 46 + 147
= 193
Answer(s): 193
