  3. (2x)+(x/2)+(x/4)+1=100, where x is the number of "us"
    solving gives, (11x/4)+1=100
    giving, x=9x6=36

    2x+x/2+x/4+1=100
    (8x+2x+x/4)+1=100
    11x/4=99
    x=(99*4)/11

  8. I got 36......... (2x +.5x+.25x)+1=100
    Remember PEMDAS
    2x+.5x+.25x=2.75x
    2.75x+1=100
    2.75x=99
    2.75x/2.75=99/2.75
    x=36

  9. 2x+.5x+.25x+1=100; solving for x, 2.75x=99, therefore x=36
