Mary and Gary had some stickers in the ratio 5:3. After Mary had given 1/3 of her stickers to Gary, the new ratio of the number

of Gary’s stickers to the number of Mary’s became 7:5. If Gary then had 32 more stickers than Mary, what was the total number of stickers the 2 children had?

The total number of stickers the 2 children had was 192 stickers.

Let x represent Mary initial stickers, y represent Gary initial stickers and z represent the total stickers.

x + y = z

  • x + y - z = 0     (1)

They shared in the ratio of 5:3, hence:

x = (5/8)z

  • 8x - 5z = 0      (2)

Mary gives 1/3 of her stickers to Gary to have 32 more stickers than her.

(1/3)x = (1/3)(5/8)z = (5/24)z

y + (1/3)x = (2/3)x + 32

  • y - (1/3)x = 32    (3)

Solving equation 1, 2 and 3 gives:

x = 120, y = 72, z = 192

The total number of stickers the 2 children had was 192 stickers.

Answer:

1. Equation is x - 5 = 8

x = 13

2. Equation is 4x - 4 = 10

x = 3.5

3. Equation is x/4 = 8

x = 32

4. Equation is 5x = 10

x = 2

5. Equation is x - 5 / 2 = 14

x = 33

6. Equation is 4x / 5 = 10

x = 12.5

7. Equation is 2x - 10 = 8

x = 9

8. Equation is 3x + 6 / 3 = 10

x = 8

9. Equation x + 8 / 4 = 14

x = 48

Total volume is volume of cylinder+volume of cone
Volume of cylinder=pi*r^2*h
V=pi*6^2*14
V=1582.56
Volume of cone=pi*r^2*h/3
V=pi*6^2*6/3
V=226.08
1582.56+226.08=1808.64 or 1808.6 cubic inches
