Jen has 4 times as many stickers as Irene. Irene has
58 as many stickers as Wendy. If the three of them have a total of 66 stickers, how many stickers does Wendy have?
Jen |
Irene |
Wendy |
4x5 |
1x5 |
|
|
5x1 |
8x1 |
20 u |
5 u |
8 u |
The number of stickers that Irene has is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Irene has the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total number of stickers that the three of them have
= 20 u + 5 u + 8 u
= 33 u
33 u = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 33 = 2
Number of stickers that Wendy has
= 8 u
= 8 x 2
= 16
Answer(s): 16
