Draw a box (a square) for how many Lily got.

Jenny got twenty-five more, so draw a box, plus a smaller box labelled "25", for how many Jenny got.

Sasha got twice as much as Jenny, so draw two sets of Jenny's boxes for Sasha, labelliing the two smaller ones with "25".

How many "25" boxes are there? Subtract these from the 275 total.

How many big boxes are left? How much of the 275 is left? So how much is each box? So how many did each person get?
