Question

Susan hits 2 cans and Benji hits 2 cans more than Susan. Lee hits 2 times as many cans as Benji. Find the number of cans hit by Lee.

• A. 4
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8

Number of cans hit by Susan = (S) = 2
Number of cans hit by Benji= (B)
B = 2 + S
i.e. 2 + 2 = 4 cans
Number of cans hit by Lee (L) = 2 x (B) i.e. 2 x 4 = 8 cans
