Three friends, Ayyub, Bran and Curtis, each have some mini chocolate eggs. Bran has 1 more egg than Ayyub. Curtis has 50% more eggs than Bran. Altogether, Ayyub, Bran and Curtis have 48 chocolate eggs. Curtis gives eggs to each of Ayyub and Bran so that they all have the same number of eggs. Work out how many eggs Curtis gives away in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = eggs of Ayyub

y = eggs of Bran

z = eggs of Curtis

x + y + z = 48

y = x + 1

z = 1.5y = 1.5(x + 1)

now we are using the second and third equation in the first :

x + (x + 1) + 1.5(x + 1) = 48

x + x + 1 + 1.5x + 1.5 = 48

3.5x + 2.5 = 48

3.5x = 45.5

x = 45.5/3.5 = 13

y = x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

z = 1.5(x + 1) = 1.5(13 + 1) = 1.5×14 = 21

for all three friends to have the same number of eggs, we need to split 48 into 3 equal parts : a division.

48/3 = 16

so, everybody should end up with 16 eggs.

therefore Curtis gives away 21-16 = 5 eggs in total (3 to Ayyub, 2 to Bran).
