Answer: a = 12
Step by step Explanation:
Given that 427 < product of 51
A number = 185
In order to solve the problem we need to create an equation that we can resolve
Let the number we are finding = a
51a – 427 = 185 (translate the word problem into an equation form)
51a = 185 + 427
51a = 612
a = 612 / 51
a = 12
