​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• Meera has 72 chocolates.
• Alia has 18 chocolates.

Given :-

• Meera has 4 times as many chocolates as Alia has.
• They have 90 chocolates in total.

To find :-

• The number of chocolates Meera has.

Step-by-step explanation :-

Let's assume that Alia has x chocolates.

• It is given that Meera has 4 times as many chocolates as Alia has.

• So, Meera has 4x chocolates.

• It has been given in the question that they both have 90 chocolates in total.

• So, if we add the number of chocolates they both have, we must get 90 chocolates.

Therefore, we get :-

$\sf x + 4x = 90$

Adding the variables (4x and x),

$\sf5x = 90$

Transposing 5 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\sf x = \dfrac{90}{5}$

Dividing 90 by 5,

$\sf x = 18.$

The value of x = 18.

• Therefore, Alia has 18 chocolates.

• Now, Meera has 4x chocolates.

• So, the number of chocolates Meera has = 4 × 18 = 72.

Thus, Alia has 18 chocolates and Meera has 72 chocolates.
