Use algebra.
Let the number of stickers each had in the beginning = x stickers.
Ray lost 10 we represent this by
x - 10 ( = no. stickers he has now)
Tom bought 200 so the number of stickers he now has
= x + 200
Rays has 1/4 as much as Tom so we can now create the equation
1/4(x + 200) = x - 10
Soling for x:-
1/4 x + 50 = x - 10
60 = 3/4 x
x = 60 * 4/3 = 80
Answer they had 80 stickers at first.
Answer:
It was a 25% discount
Step-by-step explanation:
25 percent of 20 is 5. You subtract 5 from 20 and get 15.
I hope this helps.
To find your answer you divide 3 by 2.5 to get 1.2. The scale for the map is 1.2.
