(45 - 32) / 9 * 2
13 / 18
the. answer is 13 / 18
After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
Answer:
Country A = 84
Country B = 28
Country C = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Country A, Country B, and Country C won a total of 130 medals;
A + B + C = 130 ......1
Country B won 10 more medals than Country C;
B = C + 10 .......2
Country A won 38 more medals than the total amount won by the other two;
A = B + C + 38 ........3
Substituting equation 3 to 1;
(B+C+38) + B+C = 130
2B + 2C + 38 = 130 .......4
Substituting equation 2 into 4;
2(C+10) + 2C + 38 = 130
4C + 58 = 130
4C = 130-58 = 72
C = 72/4 = 18
B = C + 10 = 18 + 10 = 28
A = B + C + 38 = 18 + 28 + 38 = 84
Country A = 84
Country B = 28
Country C = 18
