16

Explanation:

Okay so Jack started with 50 chocolates, and ended with 2. 
The simple way to calculate it would be by realising that Jack only distributed 48 chocolates. We can find how many times 3 fits into 48 by dividing <span>48÷3=16</span>.

Using algebra, we substitute the value we want to find with x. Here what we want to find is the number of friends that were at Jack's party.

We know that he started with 50 chocolates, then distributed <span>3×</span> the number of friends present (which is x). 
We write that down as <span>50−3x</span> 
(It's minus because when chocolates are distributed, Jack is taking away from what he has.)

We know that after this, there were only 2 chocolates left, so it's 
<span>50−3x=2</span>

Then we proceed by moving all the numbers to the right until only x is left:

<span>−3x=2−50</span>
<span>−3x=−48</span>

<span>x=<span><span>−48</span><span>−3</span></span></span>

<span>x=16</span>

Conclusion: The number of people that attended the party was 16

adell [148]
Here is the answer to the given question above. Given that there are a total of 18 students and 5/9 of the students have pets, let us divide 18 by 9 to see how many students have pets. So the answer would be 2. Since it is 5 out of 9, we multiply 2 by 5 and we get 10. Therefore, the answer is 10 students. Hope this answer helps.

Answer: $450

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form an equation representing the problem. The question is essentially asking 60% of what is equal to $270. If we define that what as a variable 'x', we get the following:

\frac{60}{100} *x=270

\frac{60x}{100} =270

Multiply both sides by 100:

\frac{60x}{100} *100=270*100

60x=27,000

Divide both sides by 60 to solve for the value of 'x':

x=\frac{27,000}{60} =450

Answer is 450 bucks

We can check this answer by taking 60% of $450. In principal, this should return the discount of $270.

\frac{60}{100} *450=270

Yup, it checks out
