Question

Mike, Roy, and Leen are eating sweets. • Mike eats 2 less than Roy. • Leen eats three times more than Mike and Roy combined. • Altogether they ate 24 sweets. How many sweets did Roy eat?​

Answer 1

Roy eat 4 sweets

Explanation:

Roy =R

Mike= (R-2)

Leen= 3(R+ R-2)

R + (R-2) + 6R-6 = 24

8R-8=24

8R=32

R=4

Mike 4-2 = 2

Leen 3(4+2) = 18

4+2+18=24
