Riddle: Beanie Babies
Jenn has half the Beanie Babies that Mollie has. Allison has 3 times as many as Jenn. Together they have 72. How many Beanie Babies does each girl have?
If Mollie has twice as many Beanie Babies as Jenn and Allison has 3 times as many as Jenn, then the total of 72 must be divided by 6. 72÷6=12. Therefore: Jenn has 12 Beanie Babies, Mollie has 24 Beanie Babies, and Allison has 36 Beanie Babies.
