Question

There are 4 dogs. Aslan, rover,spot, and prince.
How many fleas does aslan have?

Rover & spot have 35 fleas in between them
Rover has two thirds as many fleas as aslan
Prince and spot have 38 fleas altogether
rover and prince have 39 fleas altogether

Answer 1

27

Answer 2

exactly how did you get to that?

Answer 3

rover + spot = 35
spot + prince = 38
so prince = rover +3
prince + rover = 39
rover +3 + rover = 39
rover = 18
rover = 2/3 aslan
aslan = rover * 3/2 = 18*3/2 = 27

Answer 4

wow thanz you guys are the best!

Answer 5

well if R+S=35
and P+S=38
and R+P=39
then R+S+S+P=35+38
and if R+P=39
then (R+S+S+P)-(R+P)=(35+38)-(39)
so S+S=34
S=17
if P+S=38
then P=21
if R+S=35
then R=18
so S=17 R=18 and P=21
if R=2/3A
then 18=2/3A
so 9=1/3A
thus 27=A

Answer 6

thats another way... XD
