This is a technique used for questions where you have to find out how many things does one person has compared to others.
Simple Question:
Sally had 12 ducks. Bill has x3 more ducks than Sally. Jerome has 18 ducks less than Bill.
S {12}
B {36} 12x3
J {18} 12x3-18
This is a really simple question - you do not need to use this technique for this.
When you get to harder questions, this is useful.
12 is one whole therefore counting as one 'box'.
12x3 is 3 boxes
12x3-18 is 3 boxes minus 18.
Easy and neat way to answer these questions.
