Answer:
Amy have 23 beads.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of beads Pam have =111
Let the number of beads Amy have ='x'
According to the question:
Pam have four fewer than five times as many beads as Amy.
So,
⇒ [tex]5x-4=111[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5x=111+4[/tex] ...adding 4 both sides
⇒ [tex]5x=115[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=\frac{115}{5}[/tex] ...dividing with 5 on both sides
⇒[tex]x=23[/tex]
Number of beads Amy have = 'x'=23.
Check:
⇒ [tex]5(x)-4[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5(23)-4[/tex]
⇒ [tex]115-4[/tex]
⇒ [tex]111[/tex]
So Amy have 23 beads which we have checked also.
