16. Daisy, Oscar and Rita share 60 chocolates. Daisy gets 15 less chocolates than Oscar. Oscar gets 10 more chocolates
than twice the number of chocolates that Rita gets. Find the numbers of chocolates that each of them gets.
(6 marks)
Solution
Let x be the number of chocolates that Rita gets.
Then Oscar gets 2x + 10 chocolates and Daisy gets (2x + 10 – 15) chocolates.
∴ x + (2x + 10) + (2x + 10 – 15) = 60 (1M for (2x + 10) or (2x + 10 – 15). 1M for sum = 60)
x + 2x + 10 + 2x + 10  15 = 60 (1M for combing/grouping of like terms)
5x = 55
x = 11
When x = 11,
2x + 10 = 2(11) + 10 = 32

G
2x + 10  15 = 2(11) + 10 – 15 = 17
∴ Daisy gets 17 chocolates (1A), Oscar gets 32 chocolates (1A) and Rita gets 11 chocolates (1A).
