Question

Theresa's math teacher assigns 50% of the problems at the end of the chapter , plus and additional 6 problems that review previous chapters , for homework. at the end of the current chapter there are 48 problems. how many problems will Theresa have for math homework for the current chapter

Answer 1

We will first find 50% of 48

50% of 48 =

$=\frac{50}{100}\times48$$=24$

We will now add 6 to the above since it was said that an additional 6 problems was added

The number of problems that Theresa will have for current chapter = 24+6 =30
