Asher had
110 as many stickers as Fabian. Fabian had twice as many stickers as Archie. If Asher had 168 stickers fewer than Archie,
- how many stickers did Asher have?
- how many stickers did they have altogether?
(a)
Number of stickers that Asher had = 1 u
Number of stickers that Fabian had = 10 u
Number of stickers that Archie had = 10 u ÷ 2 = 5 u
Number of stickers that Asher had fewer than Archie
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 168
1 u = 168 ÷ 4 = 42
Number of stickers that Asher had
= 1 u
= 42
(b)
Total number of stickers that they had
= 1 u + 10 u + 5 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 42
= 672
Answer(s): (a) 42; (b) 672
