Lee and Gwen share some cards.
45 of Lee's cards is equal to
411 of Gwen's cards. Given that Gwen has 12 cards more than Lee, how many cards do they have altogether?
45 of Lee's cards = 411 of Gwen's cards
Number of Lee's cards = 5 u
Number of Gwen's cards = 11 u
Number of cards that Gwen has more than Lee
= 11 u - 5 u
= 6 u
6 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 6 = 2
Total number of cards
= 5 u + 11 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 2
= 32
Answer(s): 32
