Question

Sheza and Hadia had 12 579 paper stars. Sheza gave 2 214 paper stars to Hadia. Now Hadia had twice as many paper stars as Sheza.

How many paper stars did Hadia had at first?​

Answer 1

Answer:

12579 - 2214 = 10365

Now, let the no. of paper stars of Sheza be x

so, the no. of paper stars of Hadia is 2x

2x + x = 10365

or, 3x = 10365

or, x = 3455

or, 2x = 6910

And, Sheza had 2214 paper stars for herself before she gave to Hadia

so, Sheza had (3455+2214) = 5669 paper stars

And Hadia had 6910 paper stars...

Check : (5669+6910) = 12579

Hope it helps you :)
