You know two things. David sold 4 times as many towels as Daniel. Make the number of towels David sold X. Make the number of towels Daniel sold Y. Then you know that x=4y.
You also know that David sold 96 more towels than Daniel. So x=y+96.
Now take what you know about x from the first formula and substitute it in the second
4y=y+96.
Now solve for y.
