Rose has 5 times as many stickers as John. They have 300 stickers in all. How many more stickers does Rose have than John? Show your answer

Lets say that John has x stickers, that means Rose has 5x stickers.

Therefore x+5x=300

6x=300

x=50

Rose has 250 stickers and John has 50 stickers.

Difference:

250-50=200

200 Stickers

Let's make six boxes. Five go to Rose, and one goes to John.

R [][][][][]

J []

Next, you'd add the amount of boxes to get six.

Now, divide 300 by 6 to find out how many go into each box.

300/6 is 50

This means that Rose has 50 x 5 stickers, and John has 50 stickers

Therefore, 250-50 is 200
