i have a super quick question

OpenStudy (griffindore):

Sam bought 86 pounds of flour for his bakery. Every day he used the same amount of flour to make bakery items. After 10 days, Sam was left with 25.2 pounds of flour. On average, how many pounds of flour did Sam use each day?

OpenStudy (griffindore):

3.01 pounds 5.65 pounds 6.08 pounds 11.12 pounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You take (Original Amount) - (What's left) = (Some number). Then you take (Some number)/10.

OpenStudy (griffindore):

ok

OpenStudy (griffindore):

wait is 86 the ON

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes 86 is the original amount.

OpenStudy (griffindore):

ok so 86 - 25.2 =61.8/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check your math. What is 86 - 25.2?

OpenStudy (griffindore):

61.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check your math. What is 86-25.2? (It's not 61.8)
