Term 1 Holiday Maths No.3

3. Lollies, lollies, lollies

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? How many lollies would Sam need to get on
Saturday if he wanted to have 39 lollies

altogether?

if Sylvia got 18 lollies on Wednesday, then he must have got 6 lollies on Monday.

⅓ of 6 is 2. So sam must have got 2 lollies on Monday. And if Sam got 2 lollies,

then sonny must have got 4 lollies. 2. Sonny will get 16 lollies by the end of Friday
because of

4x4= 16. .3. My answer has to be 6 because of 6 x 6= 36 and 36 is the

closest number to 39.
