Question

Hannah's school hosted a book donation. There are 150 students at her school, and they donated a total of b books! Hannah donated 3 times as many as the average number of books each student donated.

How many books did Hannah donate?
Write your answer as an expression.

Answer 1

`x=3*(b)/(150)`

Explanation:

Let x = number of books that Hannah donated

We know that the number of students is 150 and the total number of books is represented by b, we can write that as:

Average number of books donated by each student =
`(b)/(150)`

Now we know that Hannah donated 3 times as much as the average. We can write that as:

`x=3*(b)/(150)`
