3 children have a total of 1900 stickers.
Adam has 5 times as many stickers as Bryan.
Charlie has 500 stickers more stickers than Bryan.
- How many stickers do Adam and Bryan have?
- How many stickers does Bryan have less than Adam?
- How many stickers does Bryan have less than Adam and Charlie?
(a)
Choose the person with least stickers to be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 5 u = 5 u
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 1 u + 500
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 5 u + 1 u + 500
= 7 u + 500
7 u + 500 = 1900
7 u = 1900 - 500
7 u = 1400
1 u = 1400 ÷ 7 = 200
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 200
= 1200
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has less than Adam
= 5 u - 1u
= 4 u
= 4 x 200
= 800
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has less than Adam and Charlie
= (5 u + 1 u + 500) - 1 u
= 5 u + 500
= 5 x 200 + 500
= 1000 + 500
= 1500
Answer(s); (a) 1200; (b) 800; (c) 1500
