Mrs. O'Neill has 9 times as many markers as colored pencils. The total number of markers ans colored pencils is 110. How many colored pencils does Mrs. O'Neill have?
So if x is coloured pencils, then we can say that 9x + x = 110. This means that 10x is 110, and if we divide by 10, we get x is 11, which is the amount of coloured pencils. Hope this helps!
