Gus has skydived 4 more times than Nico. Emma has skydived twice as many times as Nicolas. If Emma has skydived 16 times, how many times has Gus skydived

Nicolas has skydived:
16 times* (1/2)= 8 times

Gus has skydived:
8 times+ 4 times= 12 times

Gus has skydived 12 times~

Let us assume the number of times Nicolas skydived = x
Then
Number of times Gus skydived = x + 4
Number of times Emma skydived = 2x
It is also given that the number of times Emma skydived = 16
So
2x = 16
x = 8
So the number of times Gus skydived = x + 4
= 8 + 4
= 12
So the total number of times Gus skydived is 12. I hope the procedure for solving this problem is clear to you and in future you can do such problems on your own.
