Raeann used
37 of her black stickers and
27 of her white stickers to decorate her diary. In the end, she had an equal number of black stickers and white stickers left. Given that Raeann had a total of 630 black and white stickers at first, how many white stickers did she use to decorate the diary?
|
Black stickers |
White stickers |
Before |
7x5 = 35 u |
7x4 = 28 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 2x4 = - 8 u |
After |
4x5 = 20 u |
5x4 = 20 u |
The number of black stickers and white stickers in the end is the same. Make the number of black stickers and white stickers in the end the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
Total number of stickers that Raeann used to decorate the diary
= 35 u + 28 u
= 63 u
63 u = 630
1 u = 630 ÷ 63 = 10
Number of white stickers that Raeann used to decorate the diary
= 8 u
= 8 x 10
= 80
Answer(s): 80
