Quentin, Skylar, and Colten have a total of 383 chickens. Quentin has 25 more than double the chickens that Skylar has. Skylar has 4 less than triple the number of chickens that Colten has. How many chickens does Colten have? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Let x represent the number of chickens that Colten has. Skylar:3x - 4. Quentin: 25 + 2(3x - 4) = 25 + 6x - 8 = 6x + 17. Total:x + 3x - 4 + (6x + 17) = 383. 10x + 13 = 383. 10x = 370. x = 37 chickens.
Therefore, the answer is 37.
