Lisa picks 75 apples
Lisa picks 5 times more apples then sharon....L = 5a

75 = 5a <== this is ur equation where " a " is the number of apples that sharon picked
a = 75/5
a = 15...so sharon picked 15 apples

Lisa picks 75

Lisa = L
Sharon = S

L = 5S
L = 75
75 = 5S
75/5 = 5S/5
S = 15

hope this helps
