Question

The number of cards in 4/5 of Hazel's baseball card collection is equal to twice the number in her brother's collection. If Hazel's brother has 80 cards, how many does Hazel's have?

Answer 1

Hazel have 200 baseball cards in her collection.

Explanation:

Let the number of card Hazel's have be x.

Given:

Hazel brother have = 80 cards

Also Given:

The number of cards in 4/5 of Hazel's baseball card collection is equal to twice the number in her brother's collection.

It means that 4/5 times of hazel card is equal to 2 multiplied with the number of cards hazel brother have.

Framing in equation form we get;

`(4)/(5)* x = 2* 80\\\\4 * x = 2 * 80 * 5\\\\x=(2* 80 * 5)/(4) =200`

Hence Hazel have 200 baseball cards in her collection.
