Aaron,Ben and Charles shared 110 marbles.Ben received twice as many marbles as Aaron.Charles received 10 more marbles than Aaron.How many marbles did each boy receive?
Solution:
Let the no. of marbles that Aaron has be x.
Aaron has x marbles.
Ben has x*2=2x marbles.
Charles has x+10 marbles.
Total number of marbles would be x+2x+x+10 marbles which equals to 4x+10 marbles.
110 marbles equals to 4x+10 marbles
4x=100 marbles
x=100/4= 25
25*2=50
25+10=35
Aaron had 25 marbles.
Ben had 50 marbles.
Charles had 35 marbles.
