\n" ); document.write( "Ariel, Brielle and Candice baked some cookies for charity. Ariel baked 6 times
\n" ); document.write( "as many cookies as Brielle. Candice baked 114 fewer cookies than Ariel.
\n" ); document.write( "Brielle baked \"1%2F11\" of the total number of cookies all three of them baked
\n" ); document.write( "together. How many cookies did they bake altogether?
\n" ); document.write( "
Let amount of cookies Brielle baked, be B\r\n" );
document.write( "Then Ariel baked 6B cookies, and Candice, 6B - 114\r\n" );
document.write( "Total number of cookies baked: B + 6B + 6B - 114 = 13B - 114\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "As Brielle baked \"1%2F11\" of total number of cookies, we get: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+B%2C+%22=%22%2C+%281%2F11%29%2813B+-+114%29%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "      11B = 13B - 114 ---- Cross-multiplying\r\n" );
document.write( "11B - 13B = - 114\r\n" );
document.write( "     - 2B = - 114\r\n" );
document.write( "Number of cookies Brielle baked, or \r\n" );
document.write( "You should now be able to figure out the number of cookies the others baked. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Add them ALL to get the total number of cookies baked.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
