3 children have 1300 stickers.
Charlie has 100 more than Adam
but 500 less than Bryan.
- How many stickers does Adam have?
- How many stickers does Charlie have?
- How many stickers does Bryan have?
Choose the person with least stickers to be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 1 u + 100
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u + 100 + 500 = 1 u + 600
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 100 + 1 u + 600
= 3 u + 700
3 u + 700 = 1300
3 u = 1300 - 700
3 u = 600
1 u = 600 ÷ 3 = 200
(a)
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 1 u
= 200
(b)
Number of stickers that Charlie has
= 1 u + 100
= 200 + 100
= 300
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 1 u + 600
= 200 + 600
= 800
Answer(s): (a) 200; (b) 300; (c) 800
