Will and Hilda share some marbles.
25 of Will's marbles is equal to
27 of Hilda's marbles. Given that Will has 22 marbles less than Hilda, how many marbles do they have altogether?
25 of Will's marbles = 27 of Hilda's marbles
Number of Will's marbles = 5 u
Number of Hilda's marbles = 7 u
Number of marbles that Will has less than Hilda
= 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
