Question

Monkey a had p bananas. monkey b had 10 times as many bananas as a had. monkey c had 15 more bananas than b. find the number of bananas that monkey c had in terms of p.

Answer 1

Monkey C had 10p + 15 bananas, where p is the number of bananas Monkey A had.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monkey A had p bananas. Monkey B had 10 times as many bananas as Monkey A had. Therefore, Monkey B had 10p bananas. Monkey C had 15 more bananas than Monkey B. So, Monkey C had 10p + 15 bananas.

To find the number of bananas that Monkey C had in terms of p, we can set up the following expression:

• Number of bananas Monkey A had = p
• Number of bananas Monkey B had = 10 × p (since Monkey B had 10 times Monkey A's bananas)
• Number of bananas Monkey C had = (10 × p) + 15 (since Monkey C had 15 more than Monkey B)

Therefore, the expression for the number of bananas that Monkey C had in terms of p is 10p + 15.
