Question

Jared sold 194 chocolate bars for his basketball fundraiser. Matthew sold three times as many as Jared. Gary sold 297 fewer than Matthew. How many bars did Gary sell?

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

J = 194 bars

M = J x 3

G = M - 297

Find M : 194 x 3

= 582

Find G : 582 - 297

= 285

Gary sold 285 chocolate bars.
