The
eldest
Answer
:
Let's analyze the information given:
1) The youngest person received the least points.
- This means that the youngest person has the
fewest points.
2) Claude got half of the points of the eldest.
- Let's denote the points of the eldest person as
E. Claude got E/2 points.
3) Jocelyne received as many points as both others combined.
- The total points Jocelyne received (denoted as
J) is equal to the sum of the points of the youngest (denoted as Y) and
Claude: J = Y + (E/2).
Now, let's compare the points received by each person:
- Youngest (Y) < Claude (E/2)
- Jocelyne (J) = Youngest (Y) + Claude (E/2)
Since the youngest has the least points and Claude has half the points
of the eldest, it implies that Claude has more points than the
youngest.
Also, Jocelyne has as many points as both others combined.
Putting it together, the order from least to most points is: Youngest
< Claude < Jocelyne.
Therefore, Jocelyne
is the eldest. |
