Damari is selling popcorn for $3 a bag. He already had $40, and his goal is to earn $85 total. Use arithmetic to determine how many bags he needs to sell to make his goal
To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal, we need to figure out how much more money he needs to earn. Damari already has $40, and his goal is to earn $85 total.
To find out how much more money Damari needs to earn, we subtract his current amount from his goal amount:
$85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45
Since each bag of popcorn costs $3, we can determine how many bags Damari needs to sell by dividing the amount of money he still needs to earn by the price per bag:
$45 รท $3 = <<45/3=15>>15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal.
Nya is building a garden in her yard. She has 24 feet of fencing for her garden and wants it t be in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 3 feet. What does the width need to be for this work?
To determine the width of Nya's garden, we need to use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is twice the length plus twice the width.
In this case, we know that the length of the garden is 3 feet, and the total length of the fence available is 24 feet. The formula can be written as follows:
2(length) + 2(width) = total length of fence
Plugging in the known values, we get:
2(3 feet) + 2(width) = 24 feet
Simplifying the equation gives us:
6 feet + 2(width) = 24 feet
Next, we subtract 6 feet from both sides of the equation:
2(width) = 24 feet - 6 feet
2(width) = 18 feet
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for the width of the garden:
width = 18 feet / 2 = 9 feet
Therefore, the width of Nya's garden needs to be 9 feet.
stacia wante4d concert tickets that were selling for $36 each, and then shje got a $19 discount. She paid a total of $53 for the tickets. How many tickets did she buy? Identify the operations needed to solve this problem using the equation 36x - 19 = 53
To solve this problem using the equation 36x - 19 = 53, we can determine the number of tickets Stacia bought (x).
The equation represents the total cost of the tickets after the $19 discount. We need to first isolate the variable (x) to solve for it.
Let's break down the equation:
36x - 19 = 53
We want to isolate the term with "x" on one side of the equation. To do this, we can first add 19 to both sides:
36x = 53 + 19
36x = 72
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 36 to solve for x:
x = 72 / 36
x = 2
Therefore, Stacia bought 2 tickets.
what were the operation used to solve the problem
The operations used to solve the problem were subtraction, addition, and division.
1. The subtraction operation was used when subtracting the discount from the original cost: 36x - 19.
2. The addition operation was used to combine the discount with the remaining cost: 53 + 19.
3. The division operation was used to find the value of x by dividing both sides of the equation by 36: x = 72/36.
