In the evening, four ants counted the crumbs they had brought. The first ant had 1.5 times more than the second, the second ant twice less than the fourth and the third ant twice more than the second. They had 26 crumbs in total. How many crumbs did the third ant have?

Correct answer:

x =  8

Step-by-step explanation:


26 = 1.5·(x/2) + x/2 + x + 2·(x/2)

6.5x = 52


x = 52/6.5 = 8

x = 8
