Question

Carly has 5 times as many markers as camden.Toegether they have 30 markers.How many markers does Carly have? How many markers does Camden have

Answer 1

Carly has 5 and Camden has 6

5x6=30

Answer 2

Answer:

number of markers Camden has = $5$

number of markers Carly has = $25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of markers Camden has = x

now it is given that Carly has 5 times as many markers as Camden has

Number of markers Carly has = 5 ( number of markers Camden has )

                                                   = $5x$

now the total number of markers = 30

number of markers with Carly + number of markers with Camden = 30

so we have

$5x+x = 30$

$6x =30$   ( adding like terms x and 5x)

$x=\frac{30}{6}$ ( dividing both sides by 6)

$x= 5$

hence we have

number of markers Camden has = $x=5$

number of markers Carly has = $5x= 5(5) = 25$
