Ron has 3 times as many stickers as Ted. They have 28 stickers altogether.How many stickers does Ron have.
t + 3t = 28
4t = 28
t = 7
Ted has 7 stickers.
Let's represent Ted's number of stickers as 'x'.
According to the given information, Ron has 3 times as many stickers as Ted. Therefore, Ron's number of stickers can be represented as '3x'.
We know that the total number of stickers they have altogether is 28. So, we can set up the equation:
x + 3x = 28
Simplifying the equation, we have:
4x = 28
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 28 / 4
x = 7
Now we can find Ron's number of stickers by multiplying 7 by 3:
Ron's number of stickers = 7 * 3
Ron's number of stickers = 21
Therefore, Ron has 21 stickers.
To solve this problem, we can use algebraic equations.
Let's say that Ted has x stickers.
According to the problem, Ron has 3 times as many stickers as Ted, so Ron has 3x stickers.
The sum of their stickers is given as 28, so we can write the equation:
x + 3x = 28
Combining like terms, we get:
4x = 28
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = 28/4
x = 7
Now that we know x = 7, we can substitute this value back into the equation to find Ron's stickers:
Ron = 3x = 3(7) = 21
Therefore, Ron has 21 stickers.
