Yssabel and Princess collected a total of 36 shells on the beach. Since Yssabel gathered more shells than Princess did, Princess thought it fair that Yssabel should get 5 shells for every 4 shells Princess would receive. How many shells would Yssabel bring home?

Add 5 and 4 then multiply until you get 36
9x2=18
9x3=27
9x4=36
now get 4 and multiply it to 5(because thats how many yssabel must get per 4 shells of princess)
we get 20
to confirm it get 4 and get 4 too(that's given to princess)
multiply it
we get 16
after it add 16 and 20
we get 36(All shells they got from the beach)
