Question

Jared sold 194 Boy Scout chocolate bars. Matthew sold three times as many as Jared. Gary sold 297 fewer than Matthew. How many bars did Gary sell

Answer 1

Answer: 285

Explanation:

Jared = 194

Matthew=(194)(3)=582

Gary=582-297=285

Fewer means Substraction

Gary will sell 285 chocolate bars

Answer 2

J = 194

M = J x 3

G = ( J x 3 ) - 297

194 x 3 = 582 = M

582 - 297 = 285 = G

Gary sold 285 bars
