Luke and Tina share some erasers.
23 of Luke's erasers is equal to
211 of Tina's erasers. Given that Tina has 24 erasers more than Luke, how many erasers do they have altogether?
23 of Luke's erasers = 211 of Tina's erasers
Number of Luke's erasers = 3 u
Number of Tina's erasers = 11 u
Number of erasers that Tina has more than Luke
= 11 u - 3 u
= 8 u
8 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 8 = 3
Total number of erasers
= 3 u + 11 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 3
= 42
Answer(s): 42
