Answer:

800 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 5 students each brought in 8 boxes with 10 pencils per box.

The number of pencils in this group would be $5\times 8\times 10=400$ pencils.

Further, we are told that 10 students each brought in 8 boxes with 5 pencils per box.

The number of pencils in the 2nd group would be $10\times 8\times 5=400$ pencils.

$\text{Total number of pencils}=400+400$

$\text{Total number of pencils}=800$

Therefore, the students bring in 800 total pencils.

Answer:

800 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

because if 5students brought in a set of 8 box's with ten in it you get 80 times 5 you get 400 then you add the ten students that brought in a set of 40 each which is another 400 so400 +400= 800

I recently (yesterday) took the AMC 10A, can anyone help me with this problem?

lianna [129]

First, we claim that $\frac{10^n-1}{9}$ is the $n-$ digit number with all digits equal to one.

Note that $10^n$ is a one followed by $n$ zeroes, so subtracting one gives $n$ nines. Divide that number by nine and you get $n$ ones, completing the proof.

Therefore, we have that $A_n = a \frac{10^n - 1}{9}$ , $B_n = b \frac{10^n-1}{9}$ , and $C_n = c \frac{10^{2n} - 1}{9}$ .

Let $x = 10^n$ . Then, we have:

$c \frac{x^2-1}{9} - b \frac{x-1}{9} = (a \frac{10^n - 1}{9})^2 = a^2 \frac{x^2 - 2x + 1}{81}$ .

Multiplying by $81$ gives:

$9c(x^2-1) - 9b(x-1) = a^2 (x^2-2x+1)$

Now, note that $x=1$ is not a valid input, since $10^n = 1$ requires $n=0$ , so we safely divide by $x-1$ to get:

$9c(x+1) - 9b = a^2(x-1)$

$9cx + 9c - 9b = a^2x - a^2$

$x(9c-a^2) = 9b-9c-a^2$

Because this is now a linear equation in $x$ , it has either zero, one, or infinitely many solutions. Obviously, we need the latter to occur, which happens when $9c=a^2$ and $9b-9c-a^2 = 0$ , since the coefficient of $x$ must cancel to zero and thus the RHS must equal zero as well.

Since $9c = a^2$ , we must have $a = 3 \sqrt{c}$ . Since $a$ must be a multiple of three, we plug in values. If $a = 9$ , we get $c = 9$ and thus $9b - 162 = 0$ , which is impossible. So $a = 9$ doesn't work.

With $a = 6$ , $c = 4$ , and thus $9b-72=0$ , so $9b=72$ , so $b=8$ . This gives $6+8+4=18$ as one possibility.

With $a = 3$ , $c = 1$ , and thus $9b - 18 = 0$ , so $b = 2$ . This obviously is worse.

We've gone through all the cases and the two possibilities are $2$ and $18$ , so our answer is $\boxed{18}$ .
