Question

Soham and Sita have total 55 story books. If Soham has four times as many books as Sita has ,then find the number of books each one has?​

Answer 1

Let number of books with Sita be ‘x’
Hence, Soham has ‘4x’ books,

By the given condition,

x + 4x = 55
5x = 55
Hence, x = 11
4x = 44

Soham has 44 books.
Sita has 11 books.

Answer 2

Answer:

11 books

Step-by-step explanation:

let sita has 'x' books

by the question soham has 4 times books of sita

soham has 4x books

So,

4x + x = 55  (as the question says total books)

5x = 55

x = 55 / 5

x = 11
