Question 1121093
i changed Maker to jaker, since that seems to be what you are calling him by later in the problem.


jaker and lades share their collection of 5000 stickers in the ratio of 5:3.


that means jaker has 5 stickers for every 3 that lades has.


for every 8 stickers, jaker has 5 and lades has 3.


divide 5000 by 8 and you get 625.


there are 625 sets of 8 stickers each in 5000 stickers.


jaker has 5 * 625 = 3125 stickers
lades has 3 * 625 = 1875 stickers


total stickers is 3125 + 1875 = 5000


jaker shares with two friends in the ratio of 3:1:1


jaker has 3125 stickers.


for every 5 stickers, he keeps 3 and gives 1 to each of his friends.


there are 3125 / 5 = 625 sets of 5 stickers in 3125 stickers.


3 * 625 = 1875
1 * 625 = 625
1 * 625 = 625


total is 3125 stickers.


bottom line:


5000 stickers to start.


jaker has 3125

out of the 3125 jaker had, he now has 1875 and each of his friends has 625.
