A sandwich shop gives a free sandwich after 8 sandwiches are bought in the formula t=s/8+s,t represents the total number of sandwiches received if s sandwiches where bought. Last year julie bought 48 sandwiches. How many sandwiches did she receive last year?
t=s/8+s
t = (48/8) + 48
t = 6 + 48
To solve this problem, we need to substitute the given value of 48 sandwiches into the equation t = s/8 + s and calculate the value of t. Here's how you can do it step-by-step:
Step 1: Substitute the value of s with 48 in the equation:
t = 48/8 + 48
Step 2: Simplify the equation:
t = 6 + 48
t = 54
Therefore, Julie received a total of 54 sandwiches last year.
