seth has three times as many stickers as evan. together they have 52 stickers. how many stickers does each person have?
Seth has 3 times as many as Evan. So together they have 4 times as many as Evan. Even has therefore 52/4=13.
You can take it from here.
To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information.
Let's assume the number of stickers Evan has is 'x'. According to the problem, Seth has three times as many stickers as Evan, so Seth would have 3x stickers.
Now, we know that together they have 52 stickers, so we can add their individual amounts:
x + 3x = 52
Combining like terms, we get:
4x = 52
To isolate x, the number of stickers Evan has, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 52 / 4
Simplifying, we find:
x = 13
Therefore, Evan has 13 stickers. Since Seth has three times as many stickers, he would have 3 * 13 = 39 stickers.
In conclusion, Evan has 13 stickers and Seth has 39 stickers.
