Jane and jill collect yo-yo’s. the ratio of the number of jane’s yo-yo’s to the number of jill’s yo-yo’s is 5:4. if jane will give 15 of her yo-yo’s to her little brother, jane and jill will have the same number of yo-yo’s in their collections. how many yo-yo’s do both girls have together?

Respuesta :

The number of yo-yo's Jane and Jill have is required.

The number of yo-yo's Jane has is 75 and Jill has 60 yo-yo's.

The ratio of Jane's yo-yo to Jill's yo-yo is [tex]\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

Let x be the number of yo-yo's Jane has

y be the number of yo-yo's Jill has

[tex]\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

When Jane's gives 15 of her yo-yo's away both will have the same number of yo-yo's so

[tex]x-15=y[/tex]

substituting in the first equation

[tex]\dfrac{x}{x-15}=\dfrac{5}{4}\\\Rightarrow 4x=5x-75\\\Rightarrow x=75[/tex]

[tex]y=x-15=75-15\\\Rightarrow x=60[/tex]

The number of yo-yo's Jane has is 75 and Jill has 60 yo-yo's.
