Question

Stephanie bought 200 stickers. That is 4 times more than Jenny bought. How many stickers (s) did Jenny buy?

Answer 1

If Stephanie bought 200 stickers and this amount is 4 times the amount that Jenny bought, we can write:

`200=4\cdot x`

being x the amount that Jenny bought.

We can solve this as:

`\begin{gathered} (200)/(4)=(4\cdot x)/(4) \\ 50=x \\ x=50 \end{gathered}`

Answer: Jenny bought 50 stickers.
