Asha and Lucy sell pencils. Asha sold 7 boxes, and 22 singles. Lucy sold 5 boxes, and 2 singles. Given Asha sells twice as many pencils as Lucy, work out how many questions are in each box.

Asha: 7 boxes, 22 singlesLucy: 5 boxes, 2 singlesAsha, 2x as many as Lucy
A = 2(5b +2) = 10b + 4L= 5b + 210b+4=7b+223b=18b=6
