Answer:

210 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Arthur ⇒ a = 3 k
  • Yusuf ⇒  y = 5k
  • Bill ⇒      b = 6k

<u>Yusuf gave </u><u>x</u><u> stamps to Arthur, then:</u>

  • y = 5k -x
  • a = 3k + x

<u>Bill gave Arthur 42 stamps more than Yusuf gave to Arthur, then:</u>

  • b = 6k - (x+42)
  • a = 3k + x + x + 42

<u>Now all 3 have same amount of stamps:</u>

  • 5k -x = 6k - x - 42 = 3k + 2x + 42

<u>From the first part of the equation we get:</u>

  • 6k - 5k = 42 + x - x
  • k = 42

<u>How many stamps did Yusuf have at first?</u>

  • y = 5k
  • y =5*42
  • y = 210 stamps

Yusuf had 210 stamps at first

What is 82,119 rounded to the nearest ten thousand?
Stels [109]
80,000.
To round up to the nearest ten thousand, we would see if the next lower place value has a amount either 5 or higher or 4 or lower.
If it’s five or higher, we round up.
If it’s four or lower, we round down.
We can see that the number in the ten thousands place is 8. The number in the place value after 8 is 2.
2<5 so we round down.
The answer is 80,000.
Hope this helps!
