Bryan has 5 times as many as Charlie.
Adam and Bryan have 700 more than Charlie.
- How many stickers does Bryan have?
- How many stickers does Adam have?
- How many stickers do Adam and Charlie have?
Choose the person with least stickers to be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 5 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 5 u + 70
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have is 700 more than Charlie.
Number
of stickers that Adam and Bryan have = 1 u + 700 5 u + 70 + 5 u = 1 u + 700 10 u - 1 u = 700 - 70 9 u = 630
1 u = 630 ÷ 9 = 70 (a)
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 5 x 70
= 350
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 5 u + 70
= 5 × 70 + 70
= 350 + 70
= 420
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam and Charlie have
= 5 u + 70 + 1 u
= 420 + 70
= 490
Answer(s): (a) 350; (b) 420; (c) 490
