Question

A new club sent out 294 coupons to boost sales for next year's memberships. They provided 6 times as many to potential members than to existing members. How many coupons did they send to existing members?

Answer 1

The answer to this equation is 42 coupons.

Answer 2

42

Explanation:

6 times as many means that they sent out 6 to 1. Anytime I see x times as many i always add 1. The formula for this would be x+1. x=6 6+1=7. There were 294 coupons sent out so 294/7=42. 42 equals the amount of existing members there are. I hope you understand.
