Ryan, Sally, and Jordan are going to trade baseball cards. Ryan has 43 cards. Sally has twice as many as Ryan. Jordan has 50 more cards than Ryan and Sally have together.
How many cards are available to trade?
Step-by-step explanation: 43 x 2 would be 86, which is how many cards Sally has. Since Jordan has 50 more cards than both Ryan and Sally have added together, 86 + 43 being 129, and then 129 + 50, giving us Jordan’s amount.
