Question

Leslie made a design with purple tiles, gold tiles, and silver tiles. She used: 79 silver tiles, 44 more silver tiles than purple tiles, and 23 more gold tiles than purple. Use the letter g to find the number of gold tiles that Leslie used.

Answer 1

58 gold tiles

Explanation:

Let silver = s ; purple = p ; gold = g

Number of silver Tiles = 79

44 more silver tiles than purple tiles

Purple tiles = silver tiles - 44

Purple tiles = 79 - 44 = 35

23 more gold tiles than purple tiles:

Number of gold tiles = purples Tiles + 23

Number of gold tiles = 35 + 23 = 58 tiles
