Lilian and Charlotte had a total of 201 pens. Charlotte had 2 times as many pens as Lilian.
- How many pens did Lilian have?
- How many pens did Charlotte have?
(a)
Number of pens that Lilian had = 1 u
Number of pens that Charlotte had = 2 u
Total number of pens
= 2 u + 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 201
1 u = 201 ÷ 3 = 67
Number of pens that Lilian had
= 1 u
= 67
(b)
Number of pens that Charlotte had
= 2 u
= 2 x 67
= 134
Answer(s): (a) 67; (b) 134
