Question

Five dinosaurs go for a walk and come across some lovely chicken wings. Their names are Rexy, Bronto, Steggy, Paly, and Terry. There are exactly 5 dozen wings(equal enough for each Dino to have a dozen right?); however, Terry is on a diet and he only eats 6 wings. If Paly eats 2 more than Terry, Steggy eats 4 more than Paly, and Bronto and Rexy eat the same amount because they are really hungry from not eating all day, how many chicken wings did each Dino eat?

Answer 1

Terry eats 6 wings, Paly eats 8 wings, Steggy eats 12 wings ,Bronto eats 17 wings and Rexy eats 17 wings

Explanation:

Given : Five dinosaurs go for a walk and come across some lovely chicken wings. Their names are Rexy, Bronto, Steggy, Paly, and Terry.

Also given, There are exactly 5 dozen wings that is 12 × 5 = 60

Given: Terry is on a diet and he only eats 6 wings.

If Paly eats 2 more than Terry that is 6 +2 = 8 wings.

Steggy eats 4 more than Paly that is 8 + 4 = 12 wings.

Wings left = 60 - (6 + 8 + 12) = 60 - 26 = 34 wings

Bronto and Rexy eat the same amount that is they divide 34 wings in equal amount.

Wings Bronto and Rexy eats = 17 wings

Thus, Terry eats 6 wings, Paly eats 8 wings, Steggy eats 12 wings ,Bronto eats 17 wings and Rexy eats 17 wings
