Question

Scott has 14 model cars Scott has two less than four times the number of model cars Mary has exactly how many model cars does Mary have

Answer 1

Mary has 4 model cars. First off, you have to add 2 to 14 because it says 2 less than 4 times as many. That gives you 16. You can then divide that by 4 because it is now 4 times as many as Mary has. When you do that, you get 4, so Mary has 4. I hope this helps! :)
