Allison has 5 times as many baseball cards as football cards. In all, she has 120 baseball and football cards. How many baseball cards does Allison have?

Verified Answer :

                           If Jim has x football cards

He will have 5x  baseballs cards

Thus

          x + 5x  =  120      >
total # of cards

                   6x  =  120

                   x= 120/6    =
20

                          so Jim has 5x
baseball cards  =   20*5 =100 baseball cards
