Question

Zoe counts 4 times as many black kittens as white kittens for sale at the pet store. She counts a total of 25 kittens how many more black kittens does zoe count than white kittens

Answer 1

5 x 4 = 20 + 5 = 25
5 x 4 = 20 (black cats), and if you add the number of white cats to that(5) you get 25. So zoe has 20 more black cats than she does white cats

Answer 2

Zoe counted 20 more black kittens than white kittens.

Explanation:

Let the white kittens be = x

Then the black kittens be = 4x

Zoe counts a total of 25 kittens.

So, we get;

`x+2x=25`

=>
`5x=25`

Dividing both sides by 5, we get;

x = 5

White kittens are = 5

Black kittens are =
`4*5=20`

So, the black kittens are
`25-5=20` more than white ones.

Therefore, Zoe counted 20 more black kittens than white kittens.
