x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
6 + 8 = 14
14/2 = 7 minutes to arrive at the starting point together ☺️
I hope that the answer is correct
Answer:
Mental Hospital is on the way!
Answer: There are 12 mountain bikes in the shop
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of bikes in the bike shop =120
Percentage of mountain bikes =10%
Number of mountain bikes in the shop =10% of 120
=10% x 120
==0.1 x 120=12
