Question

Justin solved 15 problems of the recent math quiz. His classmate Jordan solved 3 more problems than Justin. Another classmate of Justin, Jeremy also solved some problems and they all together solved 37 problems. Who solved the most number of problems?

Answer 1

Jordan solved the most number of problems.

Explanation:

Justin solved 15 problems

Jordan solved 15+3 = 18 problems

Jeremy solved 37 - (15+18) = 37 - 33 = 4 problems

Answer 2

Jordan

Explanation:

Problems solved by Jordan = 15 + 3 = 18

Total problems solved = 37

Problems solved by Justin + problems solved by Jordan + problems solved by Jeremy = 37

15 + 18 + problems solved by Jeremy = 37

33 + problems solved by Jeremy = 37

Problems solved by Jeremy = 37 - 33

Problems solved by Jeremy = 4

So, Jordan solved most number of problems
