Three children, Peter, Jane, and Eric share a bag of peanuts. There are 770 peanuts in the bag. For every 4 peanuts Peter took, Jane took 3. For every 6 peanuts Peter took, Eric took 7. How many peanuts did Peter get?
Answer:
264 ........... For every 12 peanuts Peter took, Jane took 9 and Eric took 14. This totals 35 peanuts for each round ... 770/35 = 22 rounds ... 12 x 22 = 264
