16
Explanation:
Okay so Jack started with 50 chocolates, and ended with 2.
The simple way to calculate it would be by realising that Jack only distributed 48 chocolates. We can find how many times 3 fits into 48 by dividing <span>48÷3=16</span>.
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 <span>3×</span> the number of friends present (which is x).
We write that down as <span>50−3x</span>
(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
<span>50−3x=2</span>
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

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 65000$ worth of things
This is edited, because I got it backwards last time.
We need to make 2500, but she only makes 4% of whatever she sells.
That means the equation is
2500 = 0.04x
Now, we just need to divide both sides by 0.04 and we get 65000.
Sorry for the confusion.
I think it’s D sorry if you get this wrong I also have to do my work
