Question

Ari stocks shelves at a grocery store.He puts 35 cans of juice in each display case.The case has 4 shelves with an equal number of cans,and one shelf with only 3 cans.How many cans are on each of the equal shelves?

Answer 1

There are 8 cans on each of the equal shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cans put in display = 35

Shelves with equal no of cans = 4 Shelves

And one shelf displays only 3 cans

Therefore, 4 shelves with equal no of cans + 1 shelf with 3 cans = 35 cans

Let us assume equal no. of cans be x

We get, 4x + 3 = 35

4x = 35 - 3

4x = 32

x = 32 ÷ 4

x = 8

Thus, 4 shelves with equal no of cans contains 8 cans each.
