Albert has twice as many stickers as Eric. Eric has 8 more stickers than Harry. They have a total of 100 stickers.
- How many stickers does Albert have?
- How many stickers does Harry have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Eric has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Harry has = 1 u - 8
Number of stickers that Albert has = 2 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u - 8 + 2 u
= 4 u - 8
4 u - 8 = 100
4 u = 100 + 8
4 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 4 = 27
Number of stickers that Albert has
= 2 u
= 2 x 27
= 54
(b)
Number of stickers that Harry has
= 1 u - 8
= 27 - 8
= 19
Answer(s): (a) 54; (b) 19
