Brandy and Adriana work at an after school child care center. Together they cared for 32 children this
week. Brandy cared for 0.6 times as many children as Adriana. How many children did each girl care for?
Let b represent the number kids Brandy watched and a represent the number of kids Adriana watched.
b + a = 32
b = 0.6a
Substitute 0.6a for b in the first equation to find the value of a.
Now, substitute 20 for a in either equation to find b.
