Question

Haley has three times as many stuffed animals as she does dolls. Her brother has 15 more video games than Haley has stuffed animals. If Haley has 15 dolls, how many video games does her brother have? A. 228 B. 60 C. 33 D. 30

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

stuffed animals = 3 x dolls eqn 1

video games = 15 + stuffed animals eqn 2

dolls = 15

replace for dolls in eqn 1

stuffed animals = 15 x 3 = 45

substitute for stuffed animals in eqn 2

45 + 15 = 60
