Lee and Eric shared some stickers. Lee took
511 of the stickers. After Lee lost 18 stickers, Eric had twice as many stickers as Lee. How many stickers did Eric have in the end?

Lee |
Eric |
Before |
5 u |
6 u |
Change |
- 18 |
|
After |
1x3 = 3 u |
2x3 = 6 u |
The number of stickers that Eric had remains the same. Make the number of stickers that Eric had the same. LCM of 6 and 2 is 6.
Number of stickers that Lee lost
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
2 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 2 = 9
Number of stickers that Eric had in the end
= 6 u
= 6 x 9
= 54
Answer(s): 54
