Question

Chelsea buys 8 packs of markers. Each pack contains the same number of markers. Chelsea gives 10 markers to her brother. Then, she has 54 markers left.How many markers were in each pack?

Answer 1

I think 36 markers in each pack

Answer 2

Answer : The number of markers in each pack will be, 8

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the number of markers in each pack be, x

The number of markers in 8 packs = 8x

Chelsea gives 10 markers to her brother and she has 54 markers left. So,

Total number of markers = 10 + 54 = 64

Now we have to determine the number of markers in each pack.

The equation will be:

$8x=64$

$x=\frac{64}{8}$

$x=8$

Thus, the number of markers in each pack will be, 8
