Let's read the problem statement to understand the relationship between the different teams' canned food collections.
Canned Food Drive Problem
We are given that Sage's team brought in two hundred twenty-five cans. The problem also states that they brought in three times as many cans as Asif's team.
To find how many cans Asif's team brought in, we divide two hundred twenty-five by three.
Two hundred twenty-five divided by three equals seventy-five. So, Asif's team brought in seventy-five cans.
Now, we are told that Jose's team brought in four times as many cans as Asif's team.
Substituting seventy-five for A, we get four times seventy-five.
