marci made 16 kites. there are 3 times as many diamond kites as box kites, and 4 are stunk kites that look like small parachutes. how many of each type of kite did she make?
There are 9 diamond kites and 3 box kites and 4 stunk kites. I found my answer by subtracting 16-4= 12. Then I needed to find number that equal to 12. So I tried 3*3=9 and 9+3=12. So in total I get 16 kites.
