Xandra has 4 times as many stickers as Yen. Yen has
35 as many stickers as Nicole. If the three of them have a total of 240 stickers, how many stickers does Xandra have?
Xandra |
Yen |
Nicole |
4x3 |
1x3 |
|
|
3x1 |
5x1 |
12 u |
3 u |
5 u |
The number of stickers that Yen has is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Yen has the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of stickers that the three of them have
= 12 u + 3 u + 5 u
= 20 u
20 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 20 = 12
Number of stickers that Xandra has
= 12 u
= 12 x 12
= 144
Answer(s): 144
