Answer:

Diana has 40 books in her collection.

Explanation:

We can set up the equation 4x + x = 200 to represent the total number of books in the collection, where x is the number of books in Diana's collection and 4x is the number of books in Teri's collection. Solving for x, we get 5x = 200, so x = 40. This means that Diana has 40 books in her collection.
