Answer:
Matt must give David 120 stickers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of stickers that Matt has be m
Let the number of stickers that David has be d
If each of them ends up with 180 stickers each:
the total number of stickers available = 2(180)
the total number of stickers available = 360
Matt has 5 times has many stickers has David
m = 5d
Note that:
Matt's stickers + David's stickers = 360
m + d = 360
5d + d = 360
6d = 360
d = 360/6
d = 60
David has 60 stickers
m = 5d
m = 5(60)
m = 300
Matt has 300 stickers
The number of stickers Matt must give David so that they will each have 180 stickers = 300 - 180 = 120
Matt must give David 120 stickers so that they will each have 180 stickers
