Answer:

cookie monster = 35 cookies

Kramkas = 25 cookies

Mr Syph = 100 cookies

Ms Langberg = 40 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CM = cookie monster

Let K = Kramkas

Let S = Mr Syph

Let L = Ms Langberg

Write expressions for the info:

K = CM - 10

S = 4K

L = S - 60

Rewrite the expressions in terms of one variable (CM):

K = CM - 10

S = 4K = 4(CM - 10) = 4CM - 40

L = S - 60 = 4(CM - 10) - 60 = 4CM - 40 - 60 = 4CM - 100

  CM + K + S + L = 200

⇒ CM + (CM - 10) + (4CM - 40) + (4CM - 100) = 200

⇒ CM + CM + 4CM + 4CM = 200 + 10 + 40 + 100

⇒ 10CM = 350

⇒ CM = 35

⇒ K = CM - 10 = 35 - 10 = 25

⇒ S = 4K = 4 x 25 = 100

⇒ L = S - 60 = 100 - 60 = 40

cookie monster = 35 cookies

Kramkas = 25 cookies

Mr Syph = 100 cookies

Ms Langberg = 40 cookies
