Question: Sam, Ciska and Zizi shared 299 game cards. Sam received 14 as many game cards as Ciska, while Ciska received 12 as many cards as Zizi. How many cards did Sam receive?
Let's define Zizi's number of cards as x. According to the information given, Ciska's share is 12 times that of Zizi's, so she has 12x cards. Sam has 14 times as many cards as Ciska, so he has 14*12x = 168x cards. They shared 299 cards altogether, so we can set up the equation: x + 12x + 168x = 299. Solve this equation: 181x = 299, x ≈ 1.65. Since there can't be a fraction of a game card, we need to round this to the nearest whole number which should be 2. So, Zizi got 2 cards, Ciska got 12 * 2 = 24 cards, and Sam got 168 * 2 = 336 cards. But wait, the sum of these numbers exceeds the total game cards of 299. It appears that there's a mistake and so it seems there was a mistake in the problem or it's not solvable with whole numbers of game cards.
