3 children have a total of 1900 stickers.
Bryan has 3 times as many stickers as Adam.
Charlie has 600 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 + 600
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 3 u + 1 u + 600
= 5 u + 600
5 u + 600 = 1900
5 u = 1900 - 600
5 u = 1300
1 u = 1300 ÷ 5 = 260
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have
= 3 u + 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 260
= 1040
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has less than Bryan
= 3 u - 1u
= 2 u
= 2 x 260
= 520
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has less than Bryan and Charlie
= (3 u + 1 u + 600) - 1 u
= 3 u + 600
= 3 x 260 + 600
= 780 + 600
= 1380
Answer(s); (a) 1040; (b) 520; (c) 1380
