Answer 1

------------------------------------------------------
Define x:
------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of shells Carron collected be x.
Carron = x
Mandee = 4x

------------------------------------------------------
Construct Equation and solve x:
------------------------------------------------------
x + 4x = 40
5x = 40
x = 8

------------------------------------------------------
Find the number Carron and Mandee have:
------------------------------------------------------
Carron = x = 8
Mandee = 4x = 4(8) = 32

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Mandee collected 32 shells.
