Question

Jenny has 3 times as many storybooks as David. David has 60 fewer storybooks than Huiling. They have 460 storybooks altogether. How many storybooks does Jenny have?​

Answer 1

240

Explanation:

Since David has 60 fewer storybooks than Huiling, take the total number of storybooks, which is 460 and minus it by 60.

460-60=400

Now, there are 5 units, 5units=400

1unit=80

Since Jenny has 3 times as many storybooks as David, Jenny has 3 units, 3unit=80x3=240
