Answer:

Kaylee has 171 beads

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Alice's beads be represented as x and Kaylee's beads as y

Kaylee has 76 more beads than Alice,

y = 76 + x ... (1)

3/5 of Alice’s beads is equal to 1/3 of Kaylee’s beads.,

[tex](\frac{3}{5} ) x = (\frac{1}{3} ) y[/tex]  .. (2)

substitute eq(1) in eq(2)

we get

[tex](\frac{3}{5} ) x = (\frac{1}{3} ) (76 + x)[/tex]

solving the above equation, we get

x = 95, subsitute in eq(1)

y = 76 + 95

y  = 171

Kaylee has 171 beads
