I dont know how to do it but I asked DD1 to try.


total sweets is 4u + 3 = 6u - 9
which is 2u = 12
a) so u = 6 grandchildren
b) 4u + 3 = 27 sweets

:thankyou:

2/5 of $480= $192 on bag
left $480 - $192 = $288
1/4 of $288 = $72
Total spent on handbag and dress = $192 + $72 = $264
Total spent on blouses = $488 - $264 = $ $216
Each Blouse = $216/4 = $54

Hi,


Need help with this question.

Charlene and Denise have the same number of stickers. After Charlene gave away 16 stickers and Denise gave away 52 stickers, Denise has 1/3 as many stickers as Charlene. How many stickers did Charlene have at first?

Thank you!

hi, offering my help.

charlene should have 3u + 16 stickers.
denise should have 1u + 52 stickers.

draw an equivalent dotted line towards each model and u can see that :
2u --> 52 - 16 = 36
1u --> 18
3u --> 54

54 + 16 = 70.

Ans is 70.

hi,

u should take the extra 3 sweets plus shortage 9 sweets.

3 + 9 = 12 (the no of sweets needed so that each child gets 6 sweets)
6 - 4 = 2 (each child gets 2 more sweets)
12 / 2 = 6 (there are 6 grandchildren.) ------ (a)

6 x 4 = 24
24 + 3 = 27 (there are 27 sweets.) -------- (b)

:thankyou:

1 - 2/5 = 3/5 (remainder)
3/5 x $480 = $288
1 - 1/4 = 3/4 (spent on 4 blouses)
3/4 x $288 = $216 (4 blouses)
$216 / 4 = $54 (each blouse)

ans : $54

Thank you!

Done by my DD1 pri4, solved by drawing the model box.

52-16 = 36
36/2 = 18

Charlene has 18 x 3 + 16 = 70 stickers
Denise has 18 + 52 = 70 stickers
