Answer 1

Carly has 17 jerseys

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of jerseys Carly has

Let the number of jersey Carly has be c

Armond has 3 times what Carly has. The number of jerseys Armond has will be 3 * c = 3c

Carly has 5 more jerseys than Mandy; this means that the number of jerseys Mandy has is c-5 jerseys

Adding all, we have 80 jerseys

Thus;

c + 3c + c-5 = 80

5c -5 = 80

5c = 80 + 5

5c = 85

c = 85/5

c = 17
