Question

Will give Medal!
Cormac is making 29 phone calls each week as part of a fundraiser. Last week, he made 11 phone calls on weekdays. Which equation could be used to find x, the number of phone calls he made last week on weekend days?

29x = 11
x + 29 = 11
11 + x = 29
x - 29 = 11

Answer 1

Do you wanna try ?

Answer 2

Sure but I not that great at this stuff...

Answer 3

call on weekend + call on weekday = Total calls in a week

can you fill up the figures from given question?

Answer 4

Oh so the second one?

Answer 5

i don`t think so.. can you tell me what did you do ?

Answer 6

Oh sorry I messed up there I meant the 3rd one cause the x amount of numbers + the weekday amount = to 29 which is the total amount. Is that right?

Answer 7

yup.. 11 + x = 29..

Answer 8

Yay! thank you! I have another question if you don't mind answering it.

Answer 9

Sure, go ahead..
I would appreciate if you understand the logic behind it..

It*

Answer 13

can you make a equation out of it as we did in 1st question?

Answer 14

taking 'x' as number of weeks

Answer 15

Ok

Answer 16

x * 75.55 - 200.68 divide by 956.18

Answer 17

That is probably not right...

Answer 18

ha haa.. hold on..

no that is wrong.. let me rephrase it..

Answer 19

Ok

Answer 20

Total savings + (earnings per week * total weeks) = Total needed

now can you try again?

Answer 21

Oh ok so like... 200.68 + ( 75.55 * x ) = 956.18

Answer 22

right.. now solve for x...

Answer 23
