Bottletree Bakelpery and Card Shop ordered and equal number of 12 different cards. If a total 60 cards were ordered, how many of each type of card were ordered?
Divide:
60 / 12 = ?
To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations.
Let's assume that the number of each type of card ordered is represented by the variable "x." Since there are 12 different types of cards, we have:
12x = 60
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 12:
x = 60 / 12
Simplifying, we get:
x = 5
Therefore, each type of card was ordered 5 times.
