Angie, Keisha and Chen shared 125 stickers among themselves. Keisha and Chen received an equal number of stickers and Angie received one less sticker. How many stickers did Keisha receive?

Respuesta :

Answer:

42 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of stickers Keisha and chen received

x - 1 = number of stickers Angie received

Total stickers = 125

125 = x + x + (x - 1)

125 = 2x + x - 1

125 + 1 = 3x

126 = 3x

x = 126/3

x = 42 stickers

x = number of stickers Keisha and chen received = 42 stickers

x - 1 = number of stickers Angie received = 42 - 1 = 41 stickers
