t's call P the number of art brushes that Monique has. Chelsea has 11xP (that is 11 times as many as Monique) Together they have: P + 11xP = 12xP That means 12xP = 60 (60 is the number of art brushes they have together) In order to find how much is P, we need to divide: 60 Ă· 12 = 5 brushes P = 5 ; that means has Monique 5 art brushes. Chelsea has 11 times as many art brushes as Monique: 11 x 5 = 55 brushes
