Question

Jane had 27 stickers two weeks ago. She bought the same amount of stickers each day for these two weeks. Now she has 237 stickers. How many stickers did she buy each day?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jane bought 15 stickers per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total number of stickers Jane has = 237

Number of stickers 2 weeks ago = 27

To find : Number of stickers she bought each day for two weeks.

Solution,

Let the number of stickers she bought everyday be x.

∴  Number of stickers for 2 weeks = $14\times x=14x$

Now according to question,

Total number of stickers = Number of stickers 2 weeks ago +  Number of stickers she bought for 2 weeks

$237=27+14x\\14x=237-27\\14x=210\\x=15$

Thus the number of stickers she bought everyday for 2 weeks is 15.
