Primary 6 Math: Lesson 2: Problem 3

Tommy Tiger, Tammy Tiger and Toby Tiger love to jump through rings of fire because the fire kills the pesky fleas in their fur. Last night, Tommy Tiger killed 37 fleas by jumping through a ring of fire. After that, Tammy Tiger killed 4 times as many fleas as Tommy Tiger by doing the same thing. Toby Tiger, who was a veteran at jumping, jumped through the smallest ring of fire and incinerated twice as many fleas as Tammy. How many fleas did the tigers turn to soot?
