In an activity, Xylia collected 390 stamps. She collected 5 times as many stamps as Yoko.
- How many stamps did Yoko collect?
- How many more stamps did Xylia collect than Yoko?
(a)
Number of stamps that Yoko collected = 1 u
Number of stamps that Xylia collected = 5 u = 390
5 u = 390
1 u = 390 ÷ 5 = 78
Number of stamps that Yoko collected
= 1 u
= 78
(b)
Number of stamps that Xylia collected more than Yoko
= 390 - 78
= 312
Answer(s): (a) 78; (b) 312
