Min has 3 times as many stickers as Linda. Linda has
34 as many stickers as Jane. If the three of them have a total of 144 stickers, how many stickers does Min have?
Min |
Linda |
Jane |
3x3 |
1x3 |
|
|
3x1 |
4x1 |
9 u |
3 u |
4 u |
The number of stickers that Linda has is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Linda has the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of stickers that the three of them have
= 9 u + 3 u + 4 u
= 16 u
16 u = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 16 = 9
Number of stickers that Min has
= 9 u
= 9 x 9
= 81
Answer(s): 81
