For fall festival, Mrs. Marco bought 6 bags of Golden Delicious apples. She handed out 43 apples and had 5 left over. How many apples were in each bag.
43 + 5 = 48
48 / 6 = ?
To find out how many apples were in each bag, we can use the information given in the problem.
First, we know that Mrs. Marco originally bought 6 bags of Golden Delicious apples. Let's call the number of apples in each bag "x".
So, the total number of apples Mrs. Marco had is:
Total number of apples = Number of bags × Number of apples in each bag
Given that she had 5 leftover apples, we can write the equation:
Total number of apples = 6 bags × x apples in each bag + 5 leftover apples
We also know that Mrs. Marco handed out 43 apples. Therefore, the equation becomes:
Total number of apples = 6 bags × x apples in each bag + 5 leftover apples - 43 apples handed out
We can simplify this equation to:
6x + 5 - 43 = 0
Now, let's solve for x:
6x - 38 = 0
6x = 38
x = 38 / 6
x = 6
Therefore, there were 6 apples in each bag.
