Anne,Ryan and Joel collect empty cans for recycling. They collect a total of 1,925 cans. Anne collects half as many cans as Ryan. Joel collects twice as many cans as Ryan. How many cans does Joel collect?



Answer :

A + R + J = 1925
A = 1/2R
J = 2R

1/2R + R + 2R = 1925
7/2R = 1925
R = 550

J = 2(550)
J = 1100

Joel collects 1100 cans.
