Jose has a comic book collection that he keeps among 5 shelves with an equal number on each shelf. His father adds 20 comic books to the bottom shelf, so the shelf now has 125 books. How many total books are in his collection? Use algebra to solve the equation.(1 point)

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Let x be the number of books on each shelf originally. Then x + 20 = 125, so x = 105.  
Total books after the addition = 5x + 20 = 5(105) + 20 = 525 + 20 = 545.
