Question

Linda is buying boxes of ice-cream sandwiches for a party. She has to decide how many boxes she should purchase.

A formula for this scenario is:
\[x=\frac{ yz }{ a }\]

x = Number of people at the party
y = Number of ice-cream sandwiches per box
z = Number of boxes
a = Number of ice-cream sandwiches each person will eat

Rewrite the equation to solve for the number of boxes of ice-cream sandwiches Linda should order.

Answer 1

your solving for z
x = yz/a (multiply by a)
ax = yz (now divide by y)
ax/y = z
