Question

Tina collected thrice as many key chains as Charlie. If they collected 40 key chains altogether, how many fewer key chains did Charlie collect than Tina?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\succ$ Charlie collected 20 less key chains than Tina.

Step-By-Step Explanation:

As we Know,

• Tina collected thrice as many as key chain as Charlie
• There are 40 key chains collected.

$\:$

Let us assume,

• Charlie collected x no. of key chains
• Then Tina Collected 3x no. of key chains.
• Then, x + 3x = 40

$\:$

Lets Solve !

> x + 3x = 40

> 4x = 40

> 4x/4 = 40/4

> x = 10

$\:$

Therefore Charlie collected 10 key chains whereas Tina collected 30 Key Chains.

∴ Tina collected 20 more key chains than Charlie.
