Josiah has 3 packs of toy animals. Each pack has the same number of animals. Josiah gives 6 animals to his sister stephanie. Then josiah has 9 animals left. how many animals were in each pack?

Let the number of animals in each pack be x.

Total number of animals will be 3x

after Josiah gave 6 animals to his sister the remaining animals were:

3x-6=9

thus sloving for x we have:

3x-6=9

add 6 on both sides

3x-6+6=9+6

3x=15

divide both sides by 3

(3x) / 3=15/3

x=5

Answer:

There were 5 animals in each pack
