Question

The number of silly bands Kera has is double the number of Hexbugs Jackson has. The number of Hexbugs Jackson has is 20% of the number of apps Emeril has on his phone. If Kera has 26 silly bands, how many apps does Emeril have on his phone?

Answer 1

65 apps

Explanation:

Let the number of silly bands Kera has be x, then the number of hexbugs Jackson have will be x/2

Number of hexbugs Jackson has is 20%(20/100 = 1/5) of the number of apps Emeril

has on his phone.

This means;

x/2 = 1/5 * number of apps

Now Kera he 26 silly bands. Hence, x = 26

Thus 26/2 = 1/5 * number of apps

13 = 1/5 * number of apps

Number of apps = 5 * 13 = 65 apps
