3 children have a total of 2000 stickers.
Adam has 5 times as many stickers as Charlie.
Bryan has 600 stickers more stickers than Charlie.
- How many stickers do Adam and Charlie have?
- How many stickers does Charlie have less than Adam?
- How many stickers does Charlie have less than Adam and Bryan?
(a)
Choose the person with least stickers to be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 5 u = 5 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u + 600
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 5 u + 1 u + 600
= 7 u + 600
7 u + 600 = 2000
7 u = 2000 - 600
7 u = 1400
1 u = 1400 ÷ 7 = 200
Number of stickers that Adam and Charlie have
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 200
= 1200
(b)
Number of stickers that Charlie has less than Adam
= 5 u - 1u
= 4 u
= 4 x 200
= 800
(c)
Number of stickers that Charlie has less than Adam and Bryan
= (5 u + 1 u + 600) - 1 u
= 5 u + 600
= 5 x 200 + 600
= 1000 + 600
= 1600
Answer(s); (a) 1200; (b) 800; (c) 1600
