1.Pick a number to represent the number of times you would like to have chocolate in a week (more than once, but less than 10 times).
2.Double this amount (just to be bold).
3.Add 5.
4.Multiply the result by 50.
5.If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1766. If you haven’t yet had your birthday, add 1765.
6.Now, subtract the four digit year you were born.
7. Your result is a three digit number. The first digit is the number of times you chose to have chocolate in a week and the next two is your age.
I need to come up with an algebraic expression to represent this as well as explain why this works.
1. n
2. 2n
3. 2n + 5
4. 100n + 250
... moves chocolate times into hundreds place
5. 100n + [2016 or 2015]
... sets up #6 to yield age
6. 100n + age
[(50[2(n)+5])+176?]-birth year
