Sean and Betty share some marbles.
35 of Sean's marbles is equal to
37 of Betty's marbles. Given that Betty has 22 marbles more than Sean, how many marbles do they have altogether?
35 of Sean's marbles = 37 of Betty's marbles
Number of Sean's marbles = 5 u
Number of Betty's marbles = 7 u
Number of marbles that Betty has more than Sean
= 7 u - 5 u
= 2 u
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Total number of marbles
= 5 u + 7 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 11
= 132
Answer(s): 132
