    I think the answer is that Alf gave Carina 14 buttons. I know this because firstly you should add 185+185+101 which gives you the answer 471 the divide that by 3 which gives you 157. So each of them had 157 AFTER Alf and Bart gave Carina some of their buttons. Then you have to see the difference between 185 and 157 which is 28. Finally, you halve the 28 as 28 is both Alf and Bart’s amount together.The answer is that28 buttons are given to Carina.

    I worked this out by adding up all the buttons and this gave me 471. Then I divided it by 3 (157) to figure out the amount each of them would need to have for it to be equal. The difference between 157 and185 is 28 so for them both to give the same amount then Alf and Bart both give Carina 14 buttons.

    Sorry, I got that wrong Alf and Bart each give her 28 buttons, meaning they all have 157.

    First you need to add all of the numbers together 101+185+185=471. Then you do 471 divided by 3(Alf,Bart,Carina)which would give you 157. If Carina has 101 buttons in the first place then the difference between 101 and 157 is 56 and is Alf and Bart gave the same amount of buttons to Carina then you divide 56 by 2 which is 28. So that means Alf gave 28 buttons to Carina.

    Let’s say that Alf is A, Bart is B and Carina is C.
    I will now add A,B and C. 185+185+101=471. Then divide it by three. 471/3= 157. They all have 157 now. Now, take that away from 101. It is 56. 56/2 is 28.

    Alf gave 28 buttons to Carina.
