Lucy has 2 times as many stickers as Emma. Emma has
35 as many stickers as Pamela. If the three of them have a total of 98 stickers, how many stickers does Lucy have?
Lucy |
Emma |
Pamela |
2x3 |
1x3 |
|
|
3x1 |
5x1 |
6 u |
3 u |
5 u |
The number of stickers that Emma has is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Emma 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 = 98
1 u = 98 ÷ 14 = 7
Number of stickers that Lucy has
= 6 u
= 6 x 7
= 42
Answer(s): 42
