This is a question from Math In Focus Workbook 3A Lesson 9.2 (Real-World Problems: Two-step Problems with Multiplication):
Jill has 28 stickers. Peggy has 4 times as many stickers as Jill. Luis has 15 fewer stickers than Peggy. How many stickers does Luis have?
Solution:
Peggy has
P = 4 x 28 = 112
Luis has
P – 15 = 112 – 15 = 97
Therefore, Luis has 97 stickers.
