Question

Riya has 5 times as many apples as Tyler. Together they have 24 apples. How many apples does Riya have?​

Answer 1

Riya have 20 apples

Explanation:

Let, Tyler have x apples

Then, Riya have 5x apples

Now, From the question,

5x + x =24

or, 6x =24

or, x = 24/6

or, x = 4

Tyler have 4 apples

Again,

Riya have 5x apples

=5*4

=20

Therefore, Riya have 20 apples
