Seven divided by eight is 0.88 or 0.875
let l = lance, and a = alex.
so: l + a = 70
and l = 4a
Putting the value for l in the first equation:
4a +a = 70
5a = 70
a = 14.
So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.
And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.
Maya is cleaning out her closet and is shocked when she realizes that she has 55 shirts. She decides to donate 40% of them. How many more shirts does she have for her ?
Answer:
The number of T-shirt that Maya will have after donating 40% is 22 shirts
