Lynn has 2 times as many stickers as Julie. Julie has
35 as many stickers as Fanny. If the three of them have a total of 42 stickers, how many stickers does Lynn have?
Lynn |
Julie |
Fanny |
2x3 |
1x3 |
|
|
3x1 |
5x1 |
6 u |
3 u |
5 u |
The number of stickers that Julie has is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Julie has the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of stickers that the three of them have
= 6 u + 3 u + 5 u
= 14 u
14 u = 42
1 u = 42 ÷ 14 = 3
Number of stickers that Lynn has
= 6 u
= 6 x 3
= 18
Answer(s): 18
