I need help solving this word problem:

 

"Charles has 60 new keychains that he recently payed for. He can fit 15 on one keyring. He has 6 keyrings total, and the other five can fit the same number of keychains. Write and solve an equation finding the number of keychains that can fit in the other five keyrings."

Any help would be very much appreciated!! :)

I don't understand this problems.

You don't necessarily have 15 on the first one do you?

If you have x on the first one then you have 60-x on all the other 5 combined.
