You work it backwards.
-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.
-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.
2/3 times x-4 = 6
thats the answer :)
<span>Found a similar problem with the given table.
Elapsed time
(Minutes) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
Rate
(gallons / minute) 42 40 38 35 35 32 28 20 19 10
Because the interval is every 10 minutes, we will use 10 and multiply it to each rate and get the sum total.
42*10 + 40*10 + 38*10 + 35*10 + 35*10 + 32*10 + 28*10 + 20*10 + 19*10 + 10*10
420 + 400 + 380 + 350 + 350 + 320 + 280 + 200 + 190 + 100
2,990
There will be a total of 2,990 gallons in the tank after 90 minutes. </span>
Your answer will be 13,331 because you add up all the asset and subtract all the liabilities
Each kid ticket will cost 12.25 dollars because 18.50 times 12 equals 222 dollars. You subtract 222 from 344.50 to get the total amount for 10 kids which is 122.50 dollars. 122.50 divides by 10 is 12.50.
