Question

After giving 8 apples to her friend kemi notice that two-third of the remainder is 12 how many happened is she have altogether originally​

Answer 1

Let's denote the original number of apples Kemi had as "x". According to the information given, she gave 8 apples to her friend. Therefore, the remainder is (x - 8).

It is stated that two-thirds of the remainder (2/3 * (x - 8)) is equal to 12. We can set up the equation:

2/3 * (x - 8) = 12

To find the value of x, we can solve this equation. Multiplying both sides by 3/2 gives:

x - 8 = 12 * (3/2)

Simplifying the right side:

x - 8 = 18

To isolate x, we add 8 to both sides:

x = 18 + 8

x = 26

Therefore, Kemi originally had 26 apples.
