Granddaughters seedling planting

Grandma bought 200 ingredients. Granddaughter Helen planted 20% more than granddaughter Dana. Granddaughter Eve planted 40 more seedlings than Dana. Granddaughter Susan planted 0.8 times more than Dana. How many seedlings did each of the granddaughters plant?

Final Answer:

D =  40
L =  48
E =  80
Z =  32

Step-by-step explanation:

L+D+E+Z=200 L = D+0.20 D E = 40+D Z = 0.8 D  (D+0.20 D)+D+(40+D)+(0.8 D)=200  4D=160  D=4160=40  D=40
L=D+0.20 D=40+0.20 40=48
E=40+D=40+40=80
Z=0.8 D=0.8 40=32   Verifying Solution:  s=L+D+E+Z=48+40+80+32=200
