Question

Maya and amal collected the total of 952 stickers. Maya collected three times as amal. How many stickers did each person collect?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let stickers collected by Maya is x and Amal is y such that,

x+y = 952 ..(1)

Maya collected three times as amal.

x = 3y ...(2)

Put equation (2) in (1).

3y+y = 952

4y = 352

y = 88

So,

x = 3(88)

= 264

Hence, Maya collected 264 stickers and Amal collected 88 stickers.
