Answer:

248 Songs

Explanation:

Step 1; Set up an equation

4l + 6l + l = 682

Step 2: Add like terms

11l = 682

Step 3: Divide by 11

l = 62

Lou has 62 songs

Step 4: Multiply by 4

Kelly has 248 songs

Step 5: Check

Kelly has 248 songs

Lou has 62 songs

Tiffany has 372 songs

Is 248 4 times 62? ✔

Is 372 6 times 62? ✔

Is 248 + 372 + 62 = 682? ✔
