Question

Problem Eight days ago, I put 50 sheets of paper in my binder. I used the same number of sheets each day. Now I only have 2 sheets left. How many sheets of paper did I use each day?

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Answer 2

As given,

Number of sheets of paper put in the binder 8 days ago = 50 sheets

Current number of sheets left after 8 days = 2 sheets

So, number of sheets used in 8 days =
`50-2=48` sheets

As it is stated that the same number of sheets are used each day, so number of sheets used per day =
`(48)/(8)=6` sheets.

Hence, 6 sheets of paper were used each day.
