Answer 1

Answer: Menon has 992 stickers  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:

Lindsey and Menon have 1,240 stickers.

M + L =1,240 (a)

Where:

• M = Menon's stickers
• L = Lindsey's stickers

Menon has 4 times as many stickers as Lindsey.

M = 4 L (b)

Replacing the variable M on (a) by the value of M in (b).

M + L =1,240  

(4L )+L = 1,240

5L =1,240

L = 1,240/5

L= 248

Replacing the value of L in (b)

M = 4L

M =4 (248)

M = 992

Menon has 992 stickers  

Answer 2

L = Lindsey

M = Menon

L + 4L = 1240

5L = 1240

L = 248 (that's how many stickers Lindsey has)

M = 4 *248 (4 times as many as Lindsey)

M= 992

PS. I think Menon deciding to use 6 stickers on each page of an album is irrelevant here.
