Jane and Jill collect yo-yos. The ratio of the number of Janes yo-yos to the number of JIlls yo-yos is 5:4. If jane will give 15 of her yo-yos to her little brother, Jane and Jill will have the same number of yo-yos in their collections. How many yo-yos do both girls have together?

Answer:

5u - 4u = 1u

1u = 15

9u = 135

∴ Both girls have 135 yo-yos together.
