Bryan and Cindy share some pens.
38 of Bryan's pens is equal to
311 of Cindy's pens. Given that Bryan has 24 pens less than Cindy, how many pens do they have altogether?
38 of Bryan's pens = 311 of Cindy's pens
Number of Bryan's pens = 8 u
Number of Cindy's pens = 11 u
Number of pens that Bryan has less than Cindy
= 11 u - 8 u
= 3 u
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Total number of pens
= 8 u + 11 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 8
= 152
Answer(s): 152
