robin has 180 stickers. how many pages of 10 stickers does she need so that she will have 200 stickers in all
she will need 20 pages of stickers 10x20=200 just like 10x18=180 then 20-18=2 pages left
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of pages
y: amount of total stickers
We write the expression that models the problem:
\(y = 10x + 180
\)
For 200 stickers we have:
\(10x + 180 = 200
\)
From here, we clear the value of x:
\(10x = 200 - 180
10x = 20
\)
\(x = \frac{20}{10}
x = 2
\)
Answer:
She needs 2 additional pages of 10 stickers to be able to have 200 stickers in total.
