Solve the problem Emily They have 300 stickers altogether Ho

Solve the problem: Emily. They have 300 stickers altogether. How many stickers does Peter have? 1. Peter has twice as many stickers as Joe. Joe has 40 more stickers than

Solution

P = 2J
J = 40 + E

P + J + E = 300

Sub in :
2J + J + (J - 40) = 300

4J = 340

J = 85

So, E = 85 - 40 ----> E = 45

P = 2J --> 2*85 --> 170

So, Peter had 170
Joe had 85
Emily had 45
