Annabelle has 63 pencils.
Given:
Annabelle, Belle, and Charisse have 349 pencils.
Annabelle has 3 times as many pencils as Belle.
Charisse has 202 pencils more than Annabelle.
To Find:
The number of pencils Annabelle had.
Solution:
Let us assume that:
The number of pencils Belle has = B.
Since Annabelle has 3 times as many pencils as Belle,
The number of pencils Annabelle has = 3B.
Also, Charisse has 202 pencils more than Annabelle.
Hence, the number of pencils Charisse has = 202 + 3B.
We are given that the total number of pencils Annabelle, Belle, and Charisse have = 349.
⇒ B + 3B + 202 + 3B = 349
⇒ 7B = 147
⇒ B = 21.
Hence, the number of Annabelle has = 3B = 63.
∴ Annabelle has 63 pencils.
