Abel Save a 43 more nickels than dimes. After he spents 17 dimes, he had twice as many nickel than dimes . How many coins did he have left ?
not like this answer below need the chart model :
number of dimes --- x
number of nickels -- x+43
he spends 17 dimes, so he has x-17 dimes left
x+43 = 2(x-17)
continue ....
I really appreciate your kind help but
I wanted to know how to make chart since in my kids school they asked in chart pattern not like this.
pls anyone help . thank you
Usually, you use the chart method when you are trying to find the value of the money left. In this case, I don't see the values.
It is no different that saying you have 43 more red markers than blue markers.
After he give away 17 blue markers, he had twice as many red markers as blue markers. How many markers does he have left?
Certainly! I can help you create a chart to solve this problem step-by-step.
First, let's create a chart to organize the information given in the problem:
┌───────────────┬───────────────────┬───────────────────┐
│ │ Number of Dimes │ Number of Nickels │
├───────────────┼───────────────────┼───────────────────┤
│ Before Spent │ │ │
├───────────────┼───────────────────┼───────────────────┤
│ After Spent │ │ │
└───────────────┴───────────────────┴───────────────────┘
Next, we can fill in the chart with the given information:
After Abel spends 17 dimes, we can subtract 17 from the initial number of dimes. Let's represent the initial number of dimes as 'x'. So, after spending 17 dimes, Abel has (x - 17) dimes left.
Now, according to the problem, Abel had twice as many nickels as dimes after spending 17 dimes. So, the number of nickels he had can be represented as (x + 43).
Now, let's fill in the chart:
┌───────────────┬───────────────────┬───────────────────┐
│ │ Number of Dimes │ Number of Nickels │
├───────────────┼───────────────────┼───────────────────┤
│ Before Spent │ x │ x + 43 │
├───────────────┼───────────────────┼───────────────────┤
│ After Spent │ x - 17 │ x + 43 │
└───────────────┴───────────────────┴───────────────────┘
We can now use the equation given in the problem to find the value of 'x'.
According to the problem, after spending 17 dimes, Abel had twice as many nickels as dimes. So, we have the equation:
x + 43 = 2(x - 17)
Now you can solve this equation to find the value of 'x'. Once you find the value of 'x', you can substitute it back into the chart to find the final number of dimes and nickels Abel has left.
I hope this helps you create a chart to solve this problem! Let me know if you need further assistance.
