Question

anne has 24 more cards than devi. anne finds that 3/5 of devi's cards are equal to 1/2 of her cards. how many cards does anne have?

Answer 1

If 1/2 of 24 are 3/5 of devi's cards, then 1/2(24)=3/5x, 12=0.6x, 20=x. Devi has 20 cards

Answer 2

Ok so A(Anne) = D(Devi) + 24
and 1/2A = 3/5D
which is equal to A = 6/5D
which means that the 1/5 extra must = 24
so A = 6*24 
 A = 144
