Dylan had
16 as many stickers as Ryan. Ryan had twice as many stickers as Neave. If Dylan had 62 stickers fewer than Neave,
- how many stickers did Dylan have?
- how many stickers did they have altogether?
(a)
Number of stickers that Dylan had = 1 u
Number of stickers that Ryan had = 6 u
Number of stickers that Neave had = 6 u ÷ 2 = 3 u
Number of stickers that Dylan had fewer than Neave
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 62
1 u = 62 ÷ 2 = 31
Number of stickers that Dylan had
= 1 u
= 31
(b)
Total number of stickers that they had
= 1 u + 6 u + 3 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 31
= 310
Answer(s): (a) 31; (b) 310
