Answer:
238
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of marbles Sam has be x, then
Jim has x + 92 ← 92 more than Sam
After swap of 18 marbles
Sam has x - 18 and sam has x + 92 + 18 = x + 110
Jim now has twice as many as Sam, that is
x + 110 = 2(x - 18)
x + 110 = 2x - 36 ( subtract x from both sides )
110 = x - 36 ( add 36 to both sides )
146 = x
At first Jim had 146 + 92 = 238 marbles
Here is a formula that you would use to find the total cost of an item that includes tax
(p × 0.07) + p
I think that is the answer
