Eighteen less than seven times the number of sandwiches is 269. How many sandwiches are there?



Sagot :

Answer:

The number of sandwiches are 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is to translate the English sentence to mathematical sentence.

So we have:

7x - 18 = 269

Let x - represent the number of sandwiches

Then, solve for x using transposition:

7x = 269 + 18

7x = 287

Then divide both sides by 7, we get:

x = 41

Therefore, the number of sandwiches is 41.
