Jane and Mo have 528 parcels todeliver in total. Jane has 3 times as many parcelsas Mo to deliver. Jane gives Mo some parcels. They now have the same amountto deliver. How many parcels did Jane giveMo?

Jane gave Mo 132 parcels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of parcels that Jane gave to Mo.

The total number of parcels that Jane and Mo has to deliver is 528.

Jane has 3 times as many parcels as Mo to deliver. This means the ratio of Jane's Parcel to Mo's parcel is 3 :1

The total ratio is 4

The number of parcels that Jane has is

3/4 × 528 = 396

The number of parcels that Mo has is

1/4 × 528 = 132

Jane gives Mo some parcels. They now have the same amount to deliver. Therefore, each of them will have 528/2 = 264

The number of parcels that Jane gave to Mo is

396 - 264 = 132

132 parcels

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of parcel they have to deliver is 528 parcels.

Meanwhile, Jane has three times as many parcels as Mo. This means if to say Mo has x parcels, then Jane has 3x parcels.

Now we need to know what is x’s worth in amount of parcels.

x + 3x = 528

4x = 528

x = 528/4

x = 132 parcels

So this means Mo has 132 parcels and Jane has 3(132) parcels = 396 parcels

Now, we are told that Jane gave some parcels to Mo and they now have equal number of parcels. To get the number of parcels given, we need to know the even division of the total 528 parcels. Hence , we divide 528 by 2 and this yields 264 parcels

Now for them to have equal number of parcels, they must have 264 parcels each.

Since Mo now has 264 parcels, the number of parcels given to her would be 264 - 132 = 132 parcels

Hence we say that Jane gave Mo 132 parcels
