Yoko has 4 times as many coins as Natalie. Natalie has
37 as many coins as Gabby. If the three of them have a total of 242 coins, how many coins does Yoko have?
Yoko |
Natalie |
Gabby |
4x3 |
1x3 |
|
|
3x1 |
7x1 |
12 u |
3 u |
7 u |
The number of coins that Natalie has is repeated. Make the number of coins that Natalie has the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of coins that the three of them have
= 12 u + 3 u + 7 u
= 22 u
22 u = 242
1 u = 242 ÷ 22 = 11
Number of coins that Yoko has
= 12 u
= 12 x 11
= 132
Answer(s): 132
