The scouts eat 51 bags of chips on their trip
<h3>How to determine the number of bags of chips?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Boxes = 9
Bag = 10 chips
2 full boxes of potato chips and 3 bags left over.
This represents:
Potato chips = 2 * 10 + 3
Potato chips = 23 i.e. 23 bags potato chips are left over
1 fewer box of nacho chips than potato chips, with no bags left over
This represents
Nacho chips = (2 - 1) * 10
Nacho chips = 10 i.e. 10 bags of nacho chips are left over
The loose bags of potato chips is 3.
So, we have:
Barbecue chips = 2 * 3 bags
Barbecue chips = 6 bags
At this point, we have:
- Potato chips = 23 bags
- Nacho chips = 10 bags
- Barbecue chips = 6 bags
The total number of bags left over is
Total = 23 + 10 + 6
Total = 39
The number of bags eaten is:
Eaten = 9 * 10 - 39
Evaluate
Eaten = 51
Hence, the scouts eat 51 bags of chips on their trip
