Valen has five times as many stickers as Sean. Sean has 12 more stickers than Gabriel. They have a total of 121 stickers.
- How many stickers does Valen have?
- How many stickers does Gabriel have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Sean has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Gabriel has = 1 u - 12
Number of stickers that Valen has = 5 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u - 12 + 5 u
= 7 u - 12
7 u - 12 = 121
7 u = 121 + 12
7 u = 133
1 u = 133 ÷ 7 = 19
Number of stickers that Valen has
= 5 u
= 5 x 19
= 95
(b)
Number of stickers that Gabriel has
= 1 u - 12
= 19 - 12
= 7
Answer(s): (a) 95; (b) 7
