Question

Mark and Don are planning to sell each of their marble collections at a garage sale. If Don has 5 more than 4 times the number of marbles Mark has, how many does each boy have to sell if the total number of marbles is 95 ?

Answer 1

Mark has 18 and Don has 77 number of marble to sell.

Let’s say Mark has x number of marble and Don’s marble number is y.

According to this problem we have,

Y = 4x +5

And x + y = 95

Or, x + 4x + 5 = 95

Or, 5x = 90

Or, x = 18 and y = 77
