Gillian had
67 as many lollipops as Ryan. Ryan had
35 as many lollipops as Carl. If Carl had 51 more lollipops than Gillian, find the total number of lollipops that was shared among these 3 children at first.
| Gillian |
Ryan |
Carl |
| 6x3 |
7x3 |
|
| |
3x7 |
5x7 |
| 18 u |
21 u |
35 u |
Ryan is the repeated identity.
LCM of 7 and 3 = 21
Number of more lollipops that Carl had more than Gillian
= 35 u - 18 u
= 17 u
17 u = 51
1 u = 51 ÷ 17 = 3
Total number of lollipops
= 18 u + 21 u + 35 u
= 74 u
= 74 x 3
= 222
Answer(s): 222
