The number of stamps with penny in terms of x is [tex]\frac{x}{6}[/tex]
Solution:
Given that,
Ryan has x stamps in his collection
Number of stamps of Ryan = x stamps
Let the stamps with penny be "a"
Ryan has 6 times as many stamps as penny
Therefore,
Number of stamps in Ryan = 6 times as many stamps as penny
[tex]\text{Number of stamps in Ryan } = 6 \times a\\\\x = 6a\\\\a = \frac{x}{6}[/tex]
Thus number of stamps with penny in terms of x is [tex]\frac{x}{6}[/tex]
