Neave had
16 as many stickers as Ian. Ian had twice as many stickers as Ben. If Neave had 52 stickers fewer than Ben,
- how many stickers did Neave have?
- how many stickers did they have altogether?
(a)
Number of stickers that Neave had = 1 u
Number of stickers that Ian had = 6 u
Number of stickers that Ben had = 6 u ÷ 2 = 3 u
Number of stickers that Neave had fewer than Ben
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 52
1 u = 52 ÷ 2 = 26
Number of stickers that Neave had
= 1 u
= 26
(b)
Total number of stickers that they had
= 1 u + 6 u + 3 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 26
= 260
Answer(s): (a) 26; (b) 260
