Example Question #1061 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
Amanda has 3 more marbles than Jason and 5 fewer marbles than Kate. Together, they all have 17 marbles. How many marbles does Amanda have?
6 marbles
7 marbles
5 marbles
4 marbles
5 marbles
Amanda has 3 more marbles than Jason and 5 fewer marbles than Kate. Together, they all have 17 marbles.
To solve this problem, we should experiment by picking a number for Amanda. We can pick the number 4.
If Amanda has 4 marbles, this means that Jason has 1 marble, since Amanda has 3 more. If she has 5 fewer marbles than Kate, that means that Kate must have 9 marbles.
This leaves us with:
Amanda - 4 marbles
Jason - 1 marble
Kate - 9 marbles
This adds up to a total of 14 marbles. However, we know that there are a total of 17 marbles. Thus, each child must have 1 more marble than what is stated above. The correct information would be below:
Amanda - 5 marbles
Jason - 2 marble
Kate - 10 marbles
Here, the sum of the marbles is 17 and Amanda still has 3 more marbles that Jason and 5 fewer marbles that Kate.
Thus, the correct answer is that Amanda has 5 marbles.
