Assume Alan's brother has x coins before Alan gave him 48 coins
x+48=1.4x (increased by 40%)
0.4x=48
x=120
120+140=260
answer is 260 coins
Answer:
p = 5.88/3 –.75
The original be price was $1.21 per lb pound
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the new price per pound, divide 5.88 by 3.
Then subtract .75 from the new be price to find the original price.
5.88/3 = 1.96
1.96 –.75 = 1.21
Distributive, if you do 4 times x and 4 times 2 you get 4x+8
