Answer:
16
This seems to have been miswritten. So I went ahead and just put it as 50, 3 and 2
Explanation:
Okay, so Jack started with 50 chocolates and ended with 2.
The simple way to calculate it would be by realizing that Jack only distributed 48 chocolates. We can find how many times 3 fits into 48 by dividing 48÷3=16.
Using algebra, we substitute the value we want to find with x. Here what we want to find is the number of friends that were at Jack's party.
We know that he started with 50 chocolates, then distributed 3× the number of friends present (which is x).
We write that down as 50−3x
(It's minus because when chocolates are distributed, Jack is taking away from what he has.)
We know that after this, there were only 2 chocolates left, so it's
50−3x=2
Then we proceed by moving all the numbers to the right until only x is left:
<span>−3x=2−50</span>
<span>−3x=−48</span>
<span>x=<span><span>−48</span><span>−3</span></span></span>
<span>x=16</span>
Conclusion: The number of people that attended the party was 16.
Answer:
Answer: First option is correct.
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
First step is to collect the like terms together :
The equation can become 6x + 1 = 1 by combining like terms.
On the other hand we didn't apply distributive property.
Hence, First option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) $26.4
b) $324
Step-by-step explanation:
Hire purchase is the purchase of an item which can be paid instalmentally.
The bicycle costs $300 for an instant purchase.
For a hire purchase, a $60 deposit must be made and the rest paid instalmentally over 10 months. An interest of 10% is included in the outstanding balance
The outstanding balance after paying deposit= $300 - $60 = $240
Hence, 10% of 240 = 10/100 × 240 = 24
An interest of $24 is added.
Therefore, a total of $240 + $24 = $264 will be paid for the next 10 months.
a) Hence, the amount to be paid in instalment each month is $264/10 = $26.4
b) the total cost of buying the bicycle by hire purchase= deposit amount + instalment price
= $60 + $264
= $324
Hence, a total of $324 will be paid for the bicycle by hire purchase.
N.B: $300 is the sale price + $24 interest
