Question

The ratio of Dina’s bathing suits to Yana’s bathing suits was 4:1. if Dina has 24 more bathing suits than Yana, how many bathing suits does Yana have?

Answer 1

Answer:  Yana has 8 bathing suits.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the ratio of Dina’s bathing suits to Yana’s bathing suits was 4 : 1 and Dina has 24 more bathing suits than Yana.

We are to find the number of bathing suits that Yana has.

Let 4x and x represents the number of bathing suits that Dina and Yana have respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$4x-x=24\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=24\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{24}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=8.$

Therefore, the number of bathing suits that Yana has is given by

$x=8.$

Thus, Yana has 8 bathing suits.
