Answer :
you start out with these equations:
m=menon's stickers
l=lindsay's stickers
1240=l+m
m=4l
Then, you can use substitution. Plug in 4l for the m in the first equation.
1240=l+4l
Then simplify.
1240=5l
Divide.
1240/5=5l/5
248=l
Now you have the value for l and you can plug it in the second equation to figure out what m equals.
m=4 (248)
m=992
m=menon's stickers
l=lindsay's stickers
1240=l+m
m=4l
Then, you can use substitution. Plug in 4l for the m in the first equation.
1240=l+4l
Then simplify.
1240=5l
Divide.
1240/5=5l/5
248=l
Now you have the value for l and you can plug it in the second equation to figure out what m equals.
m=4 (248)
m=992
Answer:
a. 992 stickers
b. 2 stickers
c. 4 stickers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Lindsay has x stickers,
∵ Menon has 4 times as many stickers as Lindsay,
So, the number of stickers Menon has = 4x,
Thus, the total stickers = x + 4x = 5x
According to the question,
5x = 1240
⇒ x = 248,
a. Thus, the number of stickers Menon has = 4x = 4(248) = 992,
b. If Menon fills some pages in album such that each page contains 6 stickers,
Then the number of such pages = [tex]\frac{\text{stickers contained by Menon}}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{992}{6}[/tex]
= 165 pages and 2 stickers,
Thus, 2 stickers are left over.
c. ∵ Every page contains 6 stickers,
I.e. he needs 4 more stickers for one more page.
