Question

This weekend Vanessa made 4 times as many batches as last weekend. She made a total of 25 batches for the two weekends. Determine the number of batches Vanessa made last weekend and the number she made this weekend.

Answer 1

Answer: The number of batches made by Vanessa last weekend = 5

Number of batches made this weekend =20

Explanation:

Let x be the number of batches made y Vanessa last weekend.

Given : This weekend Vanessa made 4 times as many batches as last weekend.

i.e. Number of batches made this weekend = 4x

She made a total of 25 batches for the two weekends.

i.e.
`x+4x=25`

`\Rightarrow\ 5x=25`

Divide both sides by 5 , we get

`x=5`

i.e. number of batches made y Vanessa last weekend = 5

Number of batches made this weekend =20

Hence, the number of batches made by Vanessa last weekend = 5

Number of batches made this weekend =20
