Jack had
18 as many stickers as Asher. Asher had twice as many stickers as Daniel. If Jack had 135 stickers fewer than Daniel,
- how many stickers did Jack have?
- how many stickers did they have altogether?
(a)
Number of stickers that Jack had = 1 u
Number of stickers that Asher had = 8 u
Number of stickers that Daniel had = 8 u ÷ 2 = 4 u
Number of stickers that Jack had fewer than Daniel
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 135
1 u = 135 ÷ 3 = 45
Number of stickers that Jack had
= 1 u
= 45
(b)
Total number of stickers that they had
= 1 u + 8 u + 4 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 45
= 585
Answer(s): (a) 45; (b) 585
