Rael and Jayden had a total of 185 stamps. Jayden had 4 times as many stamps as Rael.
- How many stamps did Rael have?
- How many stamps did Jayden have?
(a)
Number of stamps that Rael had = 1 u
Number of stamps that Jayden had = 4 u
Total number of stamps
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 185
1 u = 185 ÷ 5 = 37
Number of stamps that Rael had
= 1 u
= 37
(b)
Number of stamps that Jayden had
= 4 u
= 4 x 37
= 148
Answer(s): (a) 37; (b) 148
