Yen has 4 times as many stickers as Joelle. Joelle has
23 as many stickers as Lucy. If the three of them have a total of 143 stickers, how many stickers does Yen have?
Yen |
Joelle |
Lucy |
4x2 |
1x2 |
|
|
2x1 |
3x1 |
8 u |
2 u |
3 u |
The number of stickers that Joelle has is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Joelle has the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of stickers that the three of them have
= 8 u + 2 u + 3 u
= 13 u
13 u = 143
1 u = 143 ÷ 13 = 11
Number of stickers that Yen has
= 8 u
= 8 x 11
= 88
Answer(s): 88
