Work backwards. If there were 14 at the end, then multiply this by 3/2 because 2/3 of the marbles were given to Sam. so 14 times 3/2 is 21. There were 28 total because if you add 1/3 to 1/6 you get 1/2. So they they lost 1/2 of the marbles and got 1/4 of the original amount back, which was 21.
So the original number was 28. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Ok, let's suppose that the unknown amount is the number of books you buy in a library. (let's represent this unknown quantity with the variable X)
We know that each book costs $9.75, and we know that in total cost for the X books is $68.25
Then, how many books do you get?
We know that if one book costs $9.75, then X books will cost X times $9.75
Then the total cost is:
C(X) = X* $9.75
And we know that the total cost was $68.25
Then to solve this, we need to solve the equation:
X* $9.75 = $68.25
X = $68.25/$9.75 = 7
