In an activity, Anna collected 207 buttons. She collected 3 times as many buttons as Kylie.
- How many buttons did Kylie collect?
- How many more buttons did Anna collect than Kylie?
(a)
Number of buttons that Kylie collected = 1 u
Number of buttons that Anna collected = 3 u = 207
3 u = 207
1 u = 207 ÷ 3 = 69
Number of buttons that Kylie collected
= 1 u
= 69
(b)
Number of buttons that Anna collected more than Kylie
= 207 - 69
= 138
Answer(s): (a) 69; (b) 138
