Question

Donald has two bags of grapes.

• Bag A contains g grapes.
• Bag B contains 40% fewer grapes than bag A.
The expression g – 0.40g can be used to find the number of grapes in bag B. Donald correctly simplifies the expression until it has just one term. What is the coefficient of g in Donald’s simplified expression?
Enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

G for bag A could also be written as 1g

The equation could then be written as 1g - 0.40g, which if you subtract can be solved as 0.60g

The answer is 0.60g
