The cost of the hiking trip this year is 2/3of the cost of last year's trip. This year's trip cost $32

1. Write an equation that represents the cost of last years trip.
2.What was the cost of last year's trip

Answer 1

The equation is ( 32/2 ) × 3 = 48.

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, we must find one third of last years trip. To do this, we can simply divide the cost of this year's trip by two, 32/2=16.

Now if we multiply this years trip by 3, 16×3=48, we can see that the total cost of last years trip was $48.

If we'd like to turn this into a equation, it looks like this:

( 32/2 ) × 3 = 48.
