Victoria and Yen had the same number of stickers. After Victoria had given away 65 stickers, Yen had 6 times as many stickers as Victoria. How many stickers did each of them have at first?
| |
Victoria |
Yen |
| Before |
1 u + 65 |
6 u |
| Change |
- 65 |
|
| After |
1 u |
6 u |
Number of stickers that Yen had remains unchanged.
Number of stickers that Victoria and Yen had at first is equal.
6 u = 1 u + 65
6 u - 1 u = 65
5 u = 65
1 u = 65 ÷ 5= 13
Number of stickers that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 65
= 13 + 65
= 78
Answer(s): 78
