Answer:
The number of bottles recycle by Alice is 21.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Mike and Alice recycled 147 bottles altogether. Mike recycled 6 times as many bottles as Alice.
Now, to find the quantity of bottles Alice recycle.
Let the number of bottles recycle by Alice = [tex]x[/tex].
And the number of bottles recycled by Mike = [tex]6x[/tex].
So, according to question:
[tex]x+6x=147[/tex]
⇒[tex]7x=147[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 7 we get:
⇒[tex]x=21[/tex].
Therefore, the number of bottles recycle by Alice is 21.
