Last Tuesday, Neave had thrice as many stickers as Flynn. Today, Neave gives 121 of his stickers to his best friend. Now, Flynn has four times as many stickers as Neave. How many stickers does Flynn have?
| |
Neave |
Flynn |
| Before |
3x4 =
12 u |
1x4 =
4 u |
| Change |
- 121 |
|
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
The number of stickers that Flynn had at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the number of stickers that Flynn has the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Number of stickers that Neave gives to his best friend
= 12 u - 1 u
= 11 u
11 u = 121
1 u = 121 ÷ 11 = 11
Number of stickers that Flynn has
= 4 u
= 4 x 11
= 44
Answer(s): 44
