Question

You are checking a bag at the airport. Your bag weighs 16 pounds plus 2 more pounds for each souvenir you add. How many souvenirs can you add if bags can weigh no more than 50 pounds?

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

50 - 16 = 34

34 / 2 = 17

34 + 17 = 51, which is too much; so we take 1 souvenir out which would be 16.

Quick check:

34 + 16 = 50

Hope this helps!
