Zoe had
45 as many lollipops as David. David had
310 as many lollipops as Ryan. If Ryan had 152 more lollipops than Zoe, find the total number of lollipops that was shared among these 3 children at first.
| Zoe |
David |
Ryan |
| 4x3 |
5x3 |
|
| |
3x5 |
10x5 |
| 12 u |
15 u |
50 u |
David is the repeated identity.
LCM of 5 and 3 = 15
Number of more lollipops that Ryan had more than Zoe
= 50 u - 12 u
= 38 u
38 u = 152
1 u = 152 ÷ 38 = 4
Total number of lollipops
= 12 u + 15 u + 50 u
= 77 u
= 77 x 4
= 308
Answer(s): 308
