Question

Lamar has 27 shirts to fold. Let n be the number of shirts he would have left to fold after folding f of them. Write an equation relating n to f. Then use the equation to find the number of shirts he would have left to fold after folding 11 of them.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number of shirts she didn't fold= n

Number of shirts she folded = f

So = total number of shirts - number of shirts folded = shirts that aren't folded

= equation = 27 - f = n

= so if she folded 11, f = 11

So n = 27 - 11

So n = 16

So, 16 shirts are left to fold
