Question

Tom had 2304 picture cards. He had 3 times as many picture cards as

Cevin. Ron had 190 fewer picture cards than Kevin. How many picture cards
Did Ron have?

Answer 1

Let's start by using "x" to represent the number of picture cards that Cevin has. We know that Tom has 3 times as many picture cards as Cevin, so:

Tom = 3x

We also know that Tom has 2304 picture cards, so:

3x = 2304

Solving for x, we get:

x = 768

So, Cevin has 768 picture cards.

We also know that Ron has 190 fewer picture cards than Kevin, so:

Ron = x - 190

Substituting x with 768, we get:

Ron = 768 - 190

Therefore, Ron has:

Ron = 578 picture cards.
