Question

Toan is building tables for the park Department. He needs 20 bolts for each table. If he has 60 bolts at his workplace and he gets 300 more bolts from the supply room, how many tables can he build?

Answer 1

Let's start with the known.

It is 20 per table. He has 60 already but buys 300 more. Let's put it into an equation.

60+300=360

In order to find out how many tables he can make, We'll need to divide.

360/20=18.

In total, Toan can make 18 tables.
