Japheth and Julie share some buttons.
37 of Japheth's buttons is equal to
313 of Julie's buttons. Given that Julie has 18 buttons more than Japheth, how many buttons do they have altogether?
37 of Japheth's buttons = 313 of Julie's buttons
Number of Japheth's buttons = 7 u
Number of Julie's buttons = 13 u
Number of buttons that Julie has more than Japheth
= 13 u - 7 u
= 6 u
6 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 6 = 3
Total number of buttons
= 7 u + 13 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 3
= 60
Answer(s): 60
