Write a real world problem that can be represented by 10x-40=100

Answer 1

10x - 40 = 100, x = 14

Explanation:

At a flower shop, there are 10 bouquets with the same amount of flowers in each of them. In total, 40 flowers were purchased. Now, there are 100 flowers left in the shop. How many flowers are in a bouquet?

- 40

• (this represents the flowers that were purchased)

= 100

• (this represents the flowers remaining)
