Problem
On Monday, Sam, Sonny, and Sylvia share some lollies that they've been given.
Sonny was given twice as many lollies as Sam.
Sylvia was given three times as many lollies as Sam.
They are given the same number of lollies each day up
to (and including) Friday.
If Sylvia got a total of 18 lollies on Tuesday and
Wednesday, how many lollies did Sonny get for the
whole five days?
Sy = 18/2 = 9
9/3 = Sam=3
3 x 2 = Sonny=6
Sonny=6 x 5 =30
How many lollies would Sam need to get on Saturday if
he wanted to have 39 lollies altogether?
We started on Monday so we did 3 x 6 = 18 + 21 = 39
