What is the number of cards in Steven's collection?

Answer 1

Answer: 48

Explanation:

The number of Pokemon cards in Steven's collection = x

The number of cards in Bob's collection is 4 times the amount in Steven's collection= 4x

The total number of Pokemon cards in both collections = 240

x + 4x = 240

5x = 240

x = 240/5

x = 48

The number of cards in Steven's collection is 48
