adviser brought a bag with 250 beads for them to use. If there are 70 beads left in the end,
how many keychains were made?
Write and solve an equation to find the answer.
keychains

Respuesta :

The number of keychains that were made is 10 keychains

Let the number of keychains made be x

From the question, a piece of keychain requires 18 beads.

x keychains will require 18x beads.

Also from the question,

The art club  adviser brought a bag with 250 beads for them to use and 70 beads left in the end. That is 250 - 70 beads were used

250 - 70 = 180 beads

Since, 180 beads were used, then, we can write that

[tex]18x = 180[/tex]

This is the equation required to determine the number of keychains

To solve the equation, divide both sides by 18

[tex]\frac{18x}{18} = \frac{180}{18}[/tex]

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

10 keychains were made

Hence, the number of keychains that were made is 10
