3 children have a total of 1000 stickers.
Bryan has 3 times as many stickers as Adam.
Charlie has 800 stickers more stickers than Adam.
- How many stickers do Bryan and Adam have?
- How many stickers does Adam have less than Bryan?
- How many stickers does Adam have less than Bryan and Charlie?
(a)
Choose the person with least stickers to be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 3 u = 3 u
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 1 u + 800
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 3 u + 1 u + 800
= 5 u + 800
5 u + 800 = 1000
5 u = 1000 - 800
5 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 5 = 40
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have
= 3 u + 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 40
= 160
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has less than Bryan
= 3 u - 1u
= 2 u
= 2 x 40
= 80
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has less than Bryan and Charlie
= (3 u + 1 u + 800) - 1 u
= 3 u + 800
= 3 x 40 + 800
= 120 + 800
= 920
Answer(s); (a) 160; (b) 80; (c) 920
