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
