Answer:  The number of candies that the box contain to start with is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Byron purchased a box of candy at the store. On his way home he ate one-fourth of the candy in the box and at dinner with friends later that night he served half of what was left.

We are to find the number of candies that the box contain to start with if there are only 6 candies left in the box.

Let c represents the number of candies in the box to start with.

So, on his way home, number of candies ate by Byron is given by

n_w=\dfrac{1}{4}c=\dfrac{c}{4}.

Now, at the dinner, number of candies ate by Byron and his friends is

n_d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\left(c-\dfrac{c}{4}\right)=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{3c}{4}=\dfrac{3c}{8}.

Since only 6 candies left in the box, so we have

c-n_w-n_d=6\\\\\Rightarrow c-\dfrac{c}{4}-\dfrac{3c}{8}=6\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8c-2c-3c}{8}=6\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3c}{8}=6\\\\\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{6\times8}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow c=16.

Thus, the number of candies that the box contain to start with is 16.

So gonna do opposites

6+6=12

12= 3/4th of the entire box

4=1/4th of the entire box

12+4=16

There was 16 chocolates originally.

Ivenika [448]

Given:

Amount in the bank account = $1850

Monthly payment of can loan = $400.73

To find:

When would automatic payments make the value of the account zero?

Solution:

Craig stops making deposits to that account. So, amount $1850 in the bank account is used to make monthly payment of can loan.

On dividing the amount by monthly payment, we get

\dfrac{1850}{400.73}=4.61657

It means, the amount is sufficient for 4 payment but for the 5th payment the amount is not sufficient.

Therefore, the 5th automatic payments make the value of the account zero.

That's a funky problem... :/  I mean it would depend on how much she earns weekly. If she were working 40 hours each week and earning 10$ an hour then yes, she would have enough. Even is she were per say a student on a part time working 30 hours and earning 8$ per hour, she would still have enough.
