Charlie has 5 times as many stamps as ryan. they have 2,160 stamps in all. how many stamps does ryan have

Ryan has 360 stamps

let Ryan have x stamps , then Charlie has 5x ( 5 times as many )

the toal stamps combined is 2160, hence

x + 5x = 2160

6x = 2160 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = = 360

Ryan has 360 stamps and Charlie has ( 5 × 360 ) = 1800 stamps
