Question

danielle and drew are sightseeing for the day. between the two of them they take 124 pictures. if danielle takes 16 more than three times as many pictures as drew, how many pictures does each friend take?

Answer 1

Pictures clicked by Drew = 27

Pictures clicked by Danielle = 97

Explanation:

The pictures captured by both of them = 124

Let us assume the pictures clicked by Drew = m

So, Pictures captured by Danielle = 16 + 3( Pictures clicked by Drew)

= 16 + 3 m

Now, Total Pictures clicked by (Drew + Danielle) = m + (16 +3 m )

⇒ m + (16 +3 m ) = 124

or, 4 m = 124 - 16

⇒ 4 m = 108

or, m = 108/4 = 27, or m = 27

Hence, the pictures clicked by Drew = m = 27

and the pictures clicked by Danielle = 16 + 4m = 16 + 81 = 97
