Stella has 5 times as many books as Tina If Stella gave 16 books to Tina they would each have the same number.
if x number of books tina has
5x number of books stella has
stella gives 16 books tina. now, stella has:
5x - 16 books
, tina has x + 16 books
given have same number of books
so,
5x-16 = x + 16
4x = 32
x = 8
tina has 8 books
stella has 40 books
hope helps
