Dylan and Nicole share some pens.
25 of Dylan's pens is equal to
27 of Nicole's pens. Given that Dylan has 20 pens less than Nicole, how many pens do they have altogether?
25 of Dylan's pens = 27 of Nicole's pens
Number of Dylan's pens = 5 u
Number of Nicole's pens = 7 u
Number of pens that Dylan has less than Nicole
= 7 u - 5 u
= 2 u
2 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 2 = 10
Total number of pens
= 5 u + 7 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 10
= 120
Answer(s): 120
