Caden had
16 as many cards as Neave. Neave had twice as many cards as Gabriel. If Caden had 82 cards fewer than Gabriel,
- how many cards did Caden have?
- how many cards did they have altogether?
(a)
Number of cards that Caden had = 1 u
Number of cards that Neave had = 6 u
Number of cards that Gabriel had = 6 u ÷ 2 = 3 u
Number of cards that Caden had fewer than Gabriel
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 82
1 u = 82 ÷ 2 = 41
Number of cards that Caden had
= 1 u
= 41
(b)
Total number of cards that they had
= 1 u + 6 u + 3 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 41
= 410
Answer(s): (a) 41; (b) 410
