3 children have a total of 600 stickers.
Bryan has 2 times as many stickers as Adam.
Charlie has 100 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 = 2 u = 2 u
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 1 u + 100
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 2 u + 1 u + 100
= 4 u + 100
4 u + 100 = 600
4 u = 600 - 100
4 u = 500
1 u = 500 ÷ 4 = 125
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have
= 2 u + 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 125
= 375
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has less than Bryan
= 2 u - 1u
= 1 u
= 1 x 125
= 125
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has less than Bryan and Charlie
= (2 u + 1 u + 100) - 1 u
= 2 u + 100
= 2 x 125 + 100
= 250 + 100
= 350
Answer(s); (a) 375; (b) 125; (c) 350
