Question

During the afternoon, I made three times as many Christmas cards as you did. If we made a total of 32 cards, how many cards did I make?

Answer 1

Given

total cards = 32

Person A made 3 times the cards B did

Find

cards A made

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number of cards made by B = x

So according to question

A = 3x

Both made 32 cards

So

cards made by A + cards made by B = 32

x+3x=32

4x = 32

x = 8
