Jelly ate 3 apples. This represents 50% of the bag of apples. How many apples were originally in the bag

rjkz [21]

<h3>Answer: 6 apples</h3>

x = number of apples originally

50% of x = 0.50*x = amount of apples eaten = 3

0.50x = 3

x = 3/0.50 ....... divide both sides by 0.50

x = 6

You can think of 50% as 1/2. If 3 apples represent half the bag, then the full bag is 6 apples. So half of 6 is 3.

$x-8=20$

solving for x

$\begin{gathered} x=20+8 \\ x=28 \end{gathered}$

The solution of x is equal to 28, therefore 12 is not a solution of the equation
