Question

1. jamar needs sequins for costumes for a school play. the kings costume needs 3,250 sequins. the queens costume needs 1,750 more sequins than the kings costume. the jesters costume needs 750 fewer sequins than the queens costume. how many sequins does jamar need for all three costumes?

Explanation:

Identify the given values

We are given the following quantities:

• King's costume: \(3,250\) sequins.
• Queen's costume: \(1,750\) more than the king's.
• Jester's costume: \(750\) fewer than the queen's.

Calculate the queen's sequins

Using the Word Problems concept, we add to find the queen's amount:

$$ \text{Queen's} = 3,250 + 1,750 = 5,000 $$

Calculate the jester's sequins

Using the Word Problems concept, we subtract to find the jester's amount:

$$ \text{Jester's} = 5,000 - 750 = 4,250 $$

Calculate the total sequins

Using the Multi-step Word Problems concept, we sum all three amounts:

$$ \text{Total} = 3,250 + 5,000 + 4,250 = 12,500 $$

Answer:

12,500
