Bradley owns b video game cartridges.
Bradley owns b video game cartridges. If Bradley’s total is one-half the total owned by James and four times the total owned by Charlie, how many video game cartridges do the three of them own altogether, in terms of b?
Answer/Solution
(13/4)b
Steps/Work
b = Bradley’s total
2b = James’s total
(1/4)b = Charlie’s total
Add each total
b + 2b+ (1/4)b = 3b + (1/4)b = = (13/4b)
Answer : C
2b = James’s total
(1/4)b = Charlie’s total
Add each total
b + 2b+ (1/4)b = 3b + (1/4)b = = (13/4b)
Answer : C
