Question

Joel is buying packs of baseball cards to add to his collection. He wants to have at least 65 total. He already has 15 and each pack has 5 cards, c, in it. How many packs will Joel need to buy in order to have at least 65 total cards?​

Answer 1

10 cards

Explanation:

In order to find how many packs Joel needs to buy we need Make an equation

Equation = 5c + 15 = 65

where,

• c = cards

5c+15=65

Step 1: Subtract 15 from both sides.

5c+15−15=65−15

5c=50

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

5c/5 = 50/5

c=10

Therefore, Joel need to buy total of 10 cards in order to have at least 65 total cards
