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.
As the exterior angles always add up to 360, you can find the number of sides by dividing 360 by the measure of your exterior angle, 30. This gives you 360/30=12, meaning your polygon has 12 sides.
