Answer:
Her mother had 205 ribbons at first
Kim had 256 ribbons at first.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sue had 48 ribbons at first. Her mother gave her 65 ribbons,and kim gave her 89.
The total ribbons that sue has is:
48 + 65 + 89
= 202
Let the number of ribbons her mother has = m
The number of ribbons her sister had = k
Now sue has 62 more ribbons than her mother
Therefore presently,
202 = 62 + m
m = 202 - 62
m = 140 ribbons
Her mother has 140 ribbons presently
35 fewer than kim.
k = 202 - 35
k = 167
Kim has 167 ribbons presently
How many ribbons did sue's mother and kim have at first
We are told in the question that:
Her mother gave her 65 ribbons
Hence, her mother had
140 + 65
= 205 ribbons at first
Her mother had 205 ribbons at first
Kim gave her 89.
Hence ,
89 + 167
= 256 ribbons at first
Kim had 256 ribbons at first.
