Question: I would love to understand how to solve this problem: Billy made 49 sandwiches; Katelyn made 47 more than that. Chloe made a quarter of the amount that Katelyn made. How many sandwiches did they make in all?
Can you explain?
Answer: 
Katelyn made 49+47 = 96 sandwiches.
Chloe made 96/4 = 24 sandwiches.
Billy, Katelyn, and Chloe made 49+96+24 = 169 sandwiches in all.
