Elyse, Linda, Vincent and Fiona shared some marbles. Elyse and Linda took
14 of the total number of marbles while Vincent and Fiona took the rest. Linda had twice as many marbles as Elyse and Fiona had 32 marbles. Given that Fiona had twice as many marbles as Linda, how many marbles were there altogether?

Number of marbles that Linda had is repeated. Make the number of marbles that Linda had the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
Number of marbles that Fiona had = 4 u
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Total number of marbles
= 12 u
= 12 x 8
= 96
Answer(s): 96
