PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Colin has 8 sheets left for his third class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total Number of pieces of papers = $x$

Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class = 5 fewer than half of the pieces in the pad

Writing the equation:

$\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5 ...... (1)$

Also, Given that number of pieces of papers used for the 2nd class are 2 more than that of papers used in the 1st class.

$\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 2nd class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5+2 = \dfrac{x}2 -3 ...... (2)$

Now, number of pieces of papers left for the third class = Total number of pieces of papers in the pad - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class

$\text{number of pieces of papers left for the third class = }x-(\dfrac{x}{2}-5)-(\dfrac{x}{2}-3)\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{x}2-\dfrac{x}2+5+3\\\Rightarrow x-x+5+3\\\Rightarrow 8$
