Question

Amari is handing out flyers for a dance. He gives 5 flyers to each volunteer to hang in the school. Then he gives x more flyers to each volunteer. There are 4 volunteers, and a total of 44 flyers. Amari does not hang any flyers himself. How many flyers does Amari give to each person the second time?

I do not know this answer

Answer 1

1. 5 per 1 person

2. x per person

4 people

44 flyers

x=6

Explanation:

If Amari gives 5 per person and there are 4 people the first you would multiply 5*4=20. If there are 44 flyers total and you have how many flyers Amari gave out first, then subtract the number of flyers she gave out first by how many total. This would be formatted as 44-20=24. There are 24 flyers left after Amari gave the people the first amount. Then Amari gave out x amount of flyers to 4 people. Since there are only 24 flyers left to distribute, you should divide 22 by 4. This would be 24/4=6, x=6. Amari gave 6 flyers to each person the second time.
