In an activity, Jaslyn collected 400 stamps. She collected 5 times as many stamps as Linda.
- How many stamps did Linda collect?
- How many more stamps did Jaslyn collect than Linda?
(a)
Number of stamps that Linda collected = 1 u
Number of stamps that Jaslyn collected = 5 u = 400
5 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 5 = 80
Number of stamps that Linda collected
= 1 u
= 80
(b)
Number of stamps that Jaslyn collected more than Linda
= 400 - 80
= 320
Answer(s): (a) 80; (b) 320
