Answer: The number of batches made by Vanessa  last weekend = 5

Number of batches made this weekend =20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of batches made y Vanessa  last weekend.

Given : This weekend Vanessa made 4 times as many batches as last weekend.

i.e. Number of batches made this weekend = 4x

She made a total of 25 batches for the two weekends.

i.e. [tex]x+4x=25[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 5x=25[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5 , we get

[tex]x=5[/tex]

i.e. number of batches made y Vanessa  last weekend = 5

Number of batches made this weekend =20

Hence, the number of batches made by Vanessa  last weekend = 5

Number of batches made this weekend =20
