Shreya has five more than twice the number of chocolates as her sister Priya. If Priya has ‘y’ chocolates, write an algebraic expression for the number of chocolates Shreya has.
If the total number of chocolates they have is 95, how many chocolates do each of them have?

Answer:

Priya= y

Shreya= 2y+5

____________

Shreya+Priya=95

2y+5=95

3y+5=95

3y=90                             By subtracting 5 from both sides

y=30                                By dividing by 3 on both sides

Priya=y= 30 chocolates

Shreya= 2y+5= 2(30)+5=60+5=65 chocolates

I hope this helps :)
