GIVEN

• Dennis found 25 the number of leaves less Lily found.
• Amy found 24 more autumn leaves than Dennis
• they found a total of 96 autumn leaves

TO FIND

• Number of leaves lily found.

SOLUTION

Let the no. of leaves found by

• Dennis be D
• Amy be A
• lily be L

ATQ

• D + A + L = 96
• D = L - 25
• A = D + 24

SOLVING ABOVE, WE GET

D + D + 24 + D + 25 = 96

3D + 49 = 96

3D = 47

• D = 16

• A = 49

• L = 41

Let the no. of leaves found by

•Dennis be D

•Amy be A

•Lily be L

$\sf{\underline{\overline{\blue{ATQ }}}}$

• D + A + L = 96

• D = L - 25

• A = D + 24

_______________________________

D + D + 24 + D + 25 = 96

3D + 49 = 96

3D = 47
