    Total books sold = how many Jessica sold + how many Josh sold

    256 = how many Jessica sold + how many Josh sold

    Jessica sols 15 times more than Josh.

    How many Josh sold = x

    How many Jessica sold = 15x

    256 = 15x + x

    = 16x - - > Divide both sides by 16

    x = 16

    Jessica sold 15 x 16 books = 240 books

    Josh sold 1 x 16 books = 16 books
