● The number of saved snaps in Justina’s collection is s.
● The number of saved snaps in Shamea’s collection is 4 times the number in Justina’s collection.
● The total number of saved snaps in both collections is 150.

What is x, the number of saved snaps in Justina’s collection?

A- 120
B- 40
C- 30
D- 116

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

There's a proper way to do this, but I forgot.

I ended up just plugging the numbers in to see if they worked;

120(4) + 120 is too much to be 150;

40(4) + 40 is 200, still too much to be 150;

30(4) + 30 is 150, exactly

So your answer is C, 30.

Hope this helps!
