Question

Juan has 3 packages of markers.

Each package has the same
number of markers. His sister gives
him 4 more markers. Now he has
28 markers. How many markers
were in each package?
A7
B 8
D 35
C 32

Answer 1

There are 8 markers in one pack

Explanation:

ok so x is going to be how many markers are in one package. if you have 3 packages then you will have 3x. you are adding 4 to 3x making it 3x+4. You know the total number of markers at the end so now all you have to do is solve the equation:

3x+4=28

3x=28-4

3x=24

x=24/3

x=8
