Question

Logan and Izzy had the same number of stickers. After Izzy gave him 92 stickers, Logan had 5 times as many stickers as Izzy. How many stickers did they have altogether?

Answer 1

The number of Stickers = 230

Explanation:

Let the Number of stickers Lzzy have = x

Number of stickers Logan have = 5 × ( x - 92)

According to question

The number stickers Lzzy have = The number of stickers Logan have

i.e x = 5 × ( x - 92)

Or, x = 5x - 460

Or, 4x = 460

So, x = 115

∴ The number stickers Lzzy have = x =115 unit

And The number of stickers Logan have = 5 × ( 115 - 92) = 115 unit

Hence , the total number of stickers = 115 + 115 = 230 Answer
