3 children have 1400 stickers.
Charlie has 200 more than Bryan
but 100 less than Adam.
- How many stickers does Bryan have?
- How many stickers does Charlie have?
- How many stickers does Adam have?
Choose the person with least stickers to be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 1 u + 200
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u + 200 + 100 = 1 u + 300
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 200 + 1 u + 300
= 3 u + 500
3 u + 500 = 1400
3 u = 1400 - 500
3 u = 900
1 u = 900 ÷ 3 = 300
(a)
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 1 u
= 300
(b)
Number of stickers that Charlie has
= 1 u + 200
= 300 + 200
= 500
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 1 u + 300
= 300 + 300
= 600
Answer(s): (a) 300; (b) 500; (c) 600
