Answer:

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Hope this helps :D

a crate of strawberries costs $4 each or three crates cost $10. what is the minimum cost for $20 crates.
timofeeve [1]
The minimum cost for 20 crates would be 68 dollars. You would buy 18 crates using the 3 for 10 dollars ( this would cost 60 dollars), and then 2 crates using the one crate for 4 dollars (this would cost 8 dollars) all together you would have 20 crates, costing you 68 dollars.
