Question

Cara and John collect baseball cards.Cara has 12 times as many baseball cards as John.Together they have 117 cards.How many cards does Cara have?

Answer 1

Cara:108

Explanation:

John: x number of cards

Cara: 12 times x number of cards(she has 12 times more cards than John)

Cara+John=117 cards

`12 * x + x = 117 \\ 13x = 117 \\ x = (117)/(13) \\ x = 9`

Cara has 12×9 cards, so she has 108 cards.
