(a) Find the ratio of Alice's number of stickers to Bernice's number of stickers.

(b) How many stickers does Bernice have?

Answer 1

A. 10/3
B. 24
Explain:
Call x is alice’s sticker
Y is bernice’s sticker

•3/5 of alice’s stickers is twice berniece.
-> 3/5x =2y
•Alice have 56 more than bernice
-> x=y+56
You want to find number of bernice’s sticker log in the second equation to the first equation:
3/5(y+56)=2y
-> y=24
