If i have the following information .
Total in the group 5 people has 364 stickers. How many does each have? If
April has fewest amount = x
Jordan has 14more than April = x +14
James has twice the amount of Jordan = 2(x+14)
Mike has 6times as many as April=6x
Kiley has 12 fewer than Jordan. (X+14)-12
so add all that up, and the total must be 364
Solve for x, and then you can answer the question.
Thank you
To find out how many stickers each person has, we can use the given information and set up equations for each person.
Let the number of stickers April has be represented by x.
Since Jordan has 14 more stickers than April, the number of stickers Jordan has is (x + 14).
James has twice the number of stickers Jordan has, so James has 2(x + 14) stickers.
Mike has 6 times as many stickers as April, so Mike has 6x stickers.
Finally, Kiley has 12 fewer stickers than Jordan, which is (x + 14) - 12.
Now, let's form an equation with the total number of stickers in the group, which is 364.
So, the equation becomes:
x + (x + 14) + 2(x + 14) + 6x + (x + 14 - 12) = 364
Simplify the equation:
x + x + 14 +2x + 28 + 6x + x + 2 = 364
Combine like terms:
11x + 44 = 364
Subtract 44 from both sides:
11x = 320
Divide both sides by 11:
x = 320 / 11
Simplify:
x ≈ 29.091
Since the question states that April has the fewest number of stickers, we can round down to the nearest whole number:
April has approximately 29 stickers.
Now, you can substitute this value into the other equations to find the number of stickers for the other individuals.
