Question

A restaurant starts with 10 dozen
pieces of cornbread. Every order
receives 2 piece of cornbread. At the
end of their lunch rush, there are 28
pieces of cornbread left. How many
orders did the restaurant take?

Answer 1

Answer:

48 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

so 10 dozen is 120 because 12(10) is 120. we first subtract 120-28, which is 96. divided 96 by 2 to get 48.

equation: (12(10)-28)/2=x

Answer 2

Answer:

46 orders.

Step-by-step explanation:

(10*12) - 2x = 28

120 - 2x = 28

-2x = 28 - 120

-2x = -92

x = -92/2

x = 46
