1x24, 2x12, 3x8 are 3 ways that get 24
24 + 100 is 124, and 124 x 2 = 248. So yes it is more than 120
3x-9=2x+4
3x-9+9=2x+4+9
3x=2x+13
3x-2x=2x-2x+13
x=13
Check:
3(13)-9=2(13)+4
39-9=26+4
30=30
False. Its as many times until you can no longer divide
Suppose nick spent x number of tokens on day 1
So he spent x + 5 on day 2
He spent x + 10 on day 3
He spent x + 15 on day 4
He spent x + 20 on day 5
On day 6 he spent x + 25
And on day 7 he spent x + 30
So in all he spent
x + x + 5 + x + 10 + x + 15 + x + 20 + x + 25 + x + 30
= 7x + 105
But total token spent = 203
So
7x + 105 = 203
Subtracting 105 from both sides
7x = 203 - 105
7x = 98
Dividing by 7 on both sides
x = 14
So on third day he spent x + 10
= 14 + 10
= 24 tokens
Tokens spent on day 3 = 24
