To find out how many years it will take Cody to collect 577 coins, we need to divide the total number of coins (577) by the number of coins he adds each year (15).
577 ÷ 15 = 38.47
Since we can't have a fraction of a year, we round up to the next whole number.
Therefore, it will take Cody approximately 39 years to collect 577 coins.
To find out how many years it will take for Cody to collect 577 coins, we can set up an equation.
Let's assume x represents the number of years.
The number of coins Cody has after x years can be calculated using the formula:
22 + 15x
Setting this equal to 577, we get:
22 + 15x = 577
To solve for x, we need to isolate x.
Subtracting 22 from both sides of the equation, we have:
15x = 555
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 15:
x = 555/15
Now let's simplify the calculation:
x = 37
Therefore, it will take Cody 37 years to collect 577 coins.
