Flynn and Winnie share some pens.
45 of Flynn's pens is equal to
47 of Winnie's pens. Given that Flynn has 16 pens less than Winnie, how many pens do they have altogether?
45 of Flynn's pens = 47 of Winnie's pens
Number of Flynn's pens = 5 u
Number of Winnie's pens = 7 u
Number of pens that Flynn has less than Winnie
= 7 u - 5 u
= 2 u
2 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Total number of pens
= 5 u + 7 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 8
= 96
Answer(s): 96
