Question

For a snack, Sameer ate a plum with 32 calories and several strawberries with 4 calories each. If the total of calories in Sameer’s snack was 56, how many strawberries did he eat?

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Explanation:

So to find the answer, we would use the equation 32+4x=56 where as x represents the amount of strawberries Sameer ate. Now to solve for x

56-32=4x

24=4x

now divide 4 from bboth sides of the equation getting:

x=6

so Sameer ate 6 strawberries
