Fabian had
110 as many stickers as Eric. Eric had twice as many stickers as Charlie. If Fabian had 84 stickers fewer than Charlie,
- how many stickers did Fabian have?
- how many stickers did they have altogether?
(a)
Number of stickers that Fabian had = 1 u
Number of stickers that Eric had = 10 u
Number of stickers that Charlie had = 10 u ÷ 2 = 5 u
Number of stickers that Fabian had fewer than Charlie
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 4 = 21
Number of stickers that Fabian had
= 1 u
= 21
(b)
Total number of stickers that they had
= 1 u + 10 u + 5 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 21
= 336
Answer(s): (a) 21; (b) 336
