Sara and Atil ate the same number of cookies for lunch. However, Sara ate half of all

the cookies that her mom gave her, and Atil ate one-third of all the cookies that his

mom gave him. If til's mom gave him 2 more cookies than Sara's mom gave to Sara,

how many cookies did each of the kids eat?

Answer:

Sarah ate 2, atil ate 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cookie Sara got = y

Atill got 2 more than Sara so his total cookies is = 2+y

Sarah ate half if hers = y/2

Atil ate 1/3 of his = 2+y/3

We have

Y/2 = 2+y/3

Then we cross multiply

3y = 2(2+y)

3y = 4 + 2y

3y - 2y = 4

Y = 4

Since y = 4,

Sara ate 4/2 cookies = 2

Then atil ate 2+4/3 = 6/3 = 2 cookies
