as many cookies as Brielle. Candice baked 114 fewer cookies than Ariel.
Brielle baked of the total number of cookies all three of them baked
together. How many cookies did they bake altogether?
Let amount of cookies Brielle baked, be B
Then Ariel baked 6B cookies, and Candice, 6B - 114
Total number of cookies baked: B + 6B + 6B - 114 = 13B - 114
As Brielle baked of total number of cookies, we get:
11B = 13B - 114 ---- Cross-multiplying
