Question

Joe has 4 less than 7 times as many shirts as Mark. Together, Joe and Mark have 140 shirts. How many shirts does Joe have? How many shirts does Mark have?

Answer 1

$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Solution below.$
====================================

♠ Let the number of shirts with Mark be 'x'.

♠ Then, number of shirts with Joe = 7x - 4



♠ Given that together they have 140 shirts.

→→→ x + 7x - 4 = 140

=> 8x = 140 + 4

=> 8x = 144

=> x = 144/8

=> x = 18


•°• Number of shirts with Mark = x = 18

•°• And, number of shirts with Joe,
= 7x - 4
= 7 × 18 - 4
= 126 - 4
= 122
