Answer: 50 Books
Step-by-step explanation:
B = number of books in Ruben's collection BEFORE he bought new ones.
So 6 books were bought which increased his collection by 12%.
12% as a decimal would be 0.12..then we add the variable which represents the number of books, 0.12B.
So then we know 0.12=6
*We need to isolate the variable* So we would divide 0.12 on both sides. 0.12/0.12 and 0.12/6 which is 50.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: 336
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are all multiples of 6
3921 / 49 = 80
You are trying to find out how many 49's go into 3921, to do this, you have to take 3921 and divide it by 49, this will tell you how many eggs are in each nest.
Alternatively, the question could have said there are 3921 total eggs, and approximately 80 eggs in each nest, how many nests were there?
Here we'd go ahead and divide 3921 by 80 to get 49.
