Question

marge has three times as many figurines as janet. if marge has 87 figurines, how many does janet have?

Answer 1

The total number of figurines Janet has = 29

Explanation:

Let the number of figurines Janet has = m

So, the Number of figurines marge has

= 3 x (Number of figurines Janet has)

or, Marge has 3 x m figurines.

Also, We are given that Marge has 87 figurines.

⇒ 3 x m = 87

or,
`m  = (87)/(3) = 29`

or, m = 29

Hence, the total number of figurines Janet has = m = 29
