Question

Mark has five video libraries that contain a total of 115 movies. Each library has the same number of movies: 9 comedies and some dramas. How many dramas are in each video library?

Answer 1

14 dramas in each video library

Explanation:

Since there are 9 comedies in each of the 5 video libraries. There would be a total of 45 comedies (9*5). Therefore, by subtracting 45 from 115, that would be the total number of dramas. To find the number of dramas, you would first 115-45=70 and then 70/5=14 since there are five video libraries. Thus, there are 14 dramas in each video library.
