Question

Nicholas has 425 pennies this is 53 more than six times a number of pennies Chloe has how many pennies does Chloe have

Answer 1

62

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Let C represents the number of pennies Chloe has

Nicolas has: 425 pennies

Also,this is 53 more than six times a number of pennies Chloe has

so

six times a number of pennies Chloe has =6C

53 more than six times a number of pennies=6C+53

`425=6C+53\rightarrow equation`

Step 2

solve the equation

`\begin{gathered} 425=6C+53 \\ subtract\text{ 53 in both sides} \\ 425-53=6C+53-53 \\ 372=6C \\ \text{divide both sides by 6} \\ (372)/(6)=(6c)/(6) \\ C=62 \end{gathered}`

hence

Clhoe has 62 pennies.
