Caden had some stickers at first. After he bought another 64 stickers, he had five times as many stickers as before. How many stickers did Caden have at first?
| |
Stickers |
| Before |
1 u |
| Change |
+ 64 |
| After |
1 u + 64 = 5 u |
Number of stickers after he bought = 1 u + 64
Number of stickers that is five times as many stickers as before = 5 x 1 u = 5 u
5 u = 1 u + 64
5 u - 1 u = 64
4 u = 64
1 u = 64 ÷ 4 = 16
Number of stickers that Kim had at first
= 1 u
= 16
Answer(s): 16
