32
Step-by-step explanation:
It'll take Emily five weeks to buy the sound system.
Let us assume the number of CDs Kate had = x
Number of CDs given to Sue = 5x/6
Number of CDs given to Joan = (5x/6) * ( 7/8)
= 35x/48
Number of CDs given to Ann = (35x/48) * (3/5)
= 7x/16
Total number of CDs Ann received = 70
Then
7x/16 = 70
x = 160
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the number of CDs that Kate originally had was 160. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.
