A local school is holding a food drive. Mark brings in 4 times as many cans as Jaydon. Jaydon brings in 5 more than twice the amount of cans that Rachel brought in. If there are 135 cans total, how many cans did Mark bring in? Let's answer step by step:

Let x represent the number of cans Rachel brought in. Jaydon:5 + 2x. Mark:4(5 + 2x) = 20 + 8x. Total:x + 5 + 2x + 20 + 8x = 135. 11x + 25 = 135. 11x = 110. x = 10. Mark: 20 + 8(10) = 100 cans. The answer: 100.
