Question

kelly has 4times as many songs on her music playlist as lou . tiffany has 6 times s many songs on her playlist as lou . altogether, they have 682 songs on their music players . how many songs does kelly have

Answer 1

Hello! To answer this question we have to make an equation. In this equation I will represent the total number of songs Lou has as the variable x. 

So 4x +6x + x = 682

This simplifies to 11x = 682. When you divide both sides by 11 you get x = 62.  This is how many songs Lou has. 

Since we are trying to find how many songs Kelly has, we must multiple 62 x 4 to get 248. Kelly has 248 songs.
