Question

Jared sold 194 chocolate bars for his basketball fundraiser. Matthew sold three times as many as Jared. Gary sold 297 fewer than Matthew. How many bars did Gary sell? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

285

Explanation:

194 x 3 = 582

or

100 x 3 = 300

90 x 3 = 270

4 x 3 = 12

300 + 200 = 500

70 + 12 = 82

500 + 82 = 582

also

582 - 297 = 285

or

582 - 200 = 382

382 - 90 = 292

292 - 7 = 285
