Question

Yesterday jane mailed some cards. today she mailed eight more cards. if jane mailed 52 cards in all how many did she mail yesterday

Answer 1

Let the number she mailed yesterday be x.

She mailed 8 more today. Total = x + 8

if she mailed 52 in all.

x + 8 = 52

x = 52 - 8

x = 44

So she mailed 44 cards yesterday.

Hope this helps
