Well you can't actually find a number, but you can make an equation.
lets call the bag of candy x, and the number of students in the teachers class S.
she gives every student in her class 4 pieces, so to find that amount, we have to multiply the number of students in her class by 4, the pieces of candy. 4S
afterwards she has 48 pieces, which is the endpoint, x is the starting point because that's the amount of candy the teacher started with.
so your equation is x-4S=48, but the thing is, the question is looking for the amount of students she gave candy to, so we have to isolate S, or in easier words; put S on one side, and the numbers on the other.
so the equation is S=1/4x-12
Given that Betty saves $161 per month which is $141 less than Jack per month. find the amount that Jack will save in 2 years.
First, find how much Jack saves. We can do this buy adding 141 to 161 since Betty saves 141 less meaning we can reverse it by adding it.
141 + 161 = 302
Now, that we know how much Jack saves per month.
Then, we have to find out how many months are in 2 years.
We already know that there is 12 months in a year, so for 2 years, we can simply multiply by 2.
12 x 2 = 24
Therefore, there are 24 months in two years.
Lastly, multiply 24 months by the amount that Jack saves to get the amount in total.
24 x 302 = 7,248
Thus, Jack will save approximately $7,248 in 2 years.
