Question

Peter has 51 fruit chews to share with Josh and Jenny. The number of fruit chews Peter gives to Josh is 9 less than four times the number of fruit chews he gives to Jenny. If Peter has no fruit chews left over, how many fruit chews does Peter give to Jenny?

Answer 1

Model this into an equation.
4J-9+J=51
5J=60
J=12
He gives Jenny 12 fruit chews.
