PLEASE HELP!!!
There were 12 toys in bag P and 66 toys in bag Q.After Mrs.Murray added the same number of toys into each bag ,Bag Q had 3 times as many toys as Bag P. How many toys did she add in each bag?



Answer :

P=12T

Q=66T

-----------

Toys added to each bag:

P=12T+nT

Q=66T+nT

Therefore, 66T+nT=3(12T+nT)

------------

66T+nT=36T+3nT

T(66+n)=T(36+3n)

66+n=36+3n

3n-n=66-36

2n=30

Therefore, n=30/2=15

-------------

*She added 15 toys to each bag.
