Answer:
Sophie has 12.5 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of cards Sophie has
y -----> number of cards Jackie has
we know that
x+y=30 -----> equation A
y=x+5 -----> equation B
Solve by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(x+5)=30
2x=30-5
x=12.5 cards
Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number
The percent of change will always be represented by a positive number because that change is an absolute value. Absolute values will always stay positive because the direction is ignored. It's not like a -1 or a -2, but it's a zero or a 3.
Hope this helped you out! :D
