Charlie, Bryan and Adam have some stickers in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 2.
Charlie and Bryan have a total of 600 stickers.
- How many stickers does Charlie have?
- How many stickers do Charlie and Adam have?
- How many more stickers does Charlie have than Bryan?
(a)
Number of stickers that Charlie has = 3 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 2 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 2 u
Number of stickers Charlie and Bryan have
= 3 u + 2 u
= 5 u
5 u = 600
1 u = 600 ÷ 5 = 120
Number of stickers that Charlie has
= 3 u
= 3 x 120
= 360
(b)
Number of stickers that Charlie and Adam have
= 3 u + 2 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 120
= 600
(c)
Number of more stickers that Charlie has than Bryan
= 3 u - 2 u
= 1 u
= 1 x 120
= 120
Answer(s): (a) 360; (b) 600; (c) 120
