Question

Jessica has some markers. She has 5 more black markers than blue markers. She has 4 times as many red markers as black markers. She has 8 blue markers. How many markers does Jessica have altogether?

Answer 1

blue + 5 = black
red = black × 4

if blue =8, then

blue + 5 = black
8+ 5 = black
13 = black

And,

red = 13 × 4 = 52

red+blue+black = 52 + 8 + 13 = ? you tell me.... :)
