Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
It cannot be between 3 and 4 because 2/3 is less than 1. You cannot end up with a larger number than 3 in this case. Similarly, it cannot be less than 2/3 because you are multiplying it by 3, which is larger than your first number.
Therefore, it has to be between 3 and 2/3 because you are taking two thirds of 3, which is 2.
L: 1750, M:1750-480=1270
Lisa gave some stamps to Mark so Lisa now has 1750-x and Mark has 1270+x. Mark also has 3 times as many as Lisa now: (1750-x)*3=1270+x
5250-3*x=1270+x
4*x=3980, x=3980/4, x=995
So Lisa gave 995 stamps to Mark.
At first Mark had 1270 stamps. Lisa now has 1750-995=755 stamps.
