Jonah is helping his mom make coupon books for a fundraiser. On the first day, they make Lof the total number of coupon books for the fundraiser. On the second day, they made 48 coupon books. The number of coupon books she made on the second day is 1 more than the number of coupon books they made on the first day. How many coupons books did they make in all? (Hint: a picture may help)
Let's represent the number of coupon books they made on the first day using a variable: x.
According to the problem, they made 1 more coupon book on the second day, so the number of coupon books made on the second day is x + 1.
On the first day, they made x coupon books.
On the second day, they made x + 1 coupon books.
In total, they made x + x + 1 coupon books.
Combining like terms, they made 2x + 1 coupon books in all. Answer: \boxed{2x+1}.
Let's suppose the number of coupon books they made on the first day is 'x'.
According to the given information:
The number of coupon books they made on the second day is 1 more than the number of coupon books they made on the first day, which means they made x+1 coupon books on the second day.
So, the total number of coupon books they made on the second day is 48.
Now we can set up an equation to solve for 'x':
x + 1 = 48
To isolate 'x', we subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:
x = 48 - 1
x = 47
Therefore, they made 47 coupon books on the first day.
To find the total number of coupon books they made in all, we add the number of coupon books they made on the first day and the second day:
Total = 47 + 48
Total = 95
So, they made a total of 95 coupon books.
To find the total number of coupon books they made, we can add the number of coupon books they made on the first day to the number of coupon books they made on the second day.
Let's call the number of coupon books they made on the first day "x".
According to the problem, the number of coupon books they made on the second day is 1 more than the number of coupon books they made on the first day. So, on the second day, they made x + 1 coupon books.
Now we can write an equation to represent the total number of coupon books they made:
Total number of coupon books = number of coupon books on the first day + number of coupon books on the second day
Total number of coupon books = x + (x + 1)
Simplifying this equation, we have:
Total number of coupon books = 2x + 1
Since we know that on the second day they made 48 coupon books, we can substitute that value into the equation:
48 = 2x + 1
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:
48 - 1 = 2x
47 = 2x
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
47/2 = x
x = 23.5
However, since we are dealing with whole numbers (coupon books cannot be in fractions), we cannot have a fraction value for x. This means that there must be an error in the problem statement or the given information.
Please double-check the problem and make sure all values are correct or provide additional information if available.
