Answer 3

Please help

Answer 4

lol
OK if you originally had s stamps and you lost 7 how many stamps have you now got?

Answer 5

??

Answer 6

suppose you had 40 stamps originally - how many do you have now/

Answer 7

33

Answer 8

right - you got that by subtracting :- 40 - 7
so if you had s stamps you now have (s - 7) stamps

Answer 9

thats what i was thinking but at first it didnt make sense. But i get it now

Answer 10

yea s just stands for some whole number I put it in parentheses but you dont have to unless you are doing some arithmetic on it.

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

How do i solve this problem http://imgur.com/a/44ESD

Answer 13

I'm coming to that.

Now the s - 7 stamps are worth $5.55 and they are each worth $0.15

Answer 14

Now we need to find an expression ffor the number of stamps Tony has and equate it to s - 7.

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

Number of stamps Tony now has = amount they are all worth / amount each stamp is worth = 5.55 / 0.15


Can you work that out?

use ur calc.

Answer 17

Your equation will be

s - 7 = the value you find

Answer 18

then its easy to find the value of s to answer the second part

Answer 19

what is 5.55 / 0.15

Answer 20

5.55/0.15=37

Answer 21

great so
equation is
s - 7 = 37

Answer 22

Now if you add 7 to each side of the equation youll get the value of s , the number of stamps Tony originally had.

Answer 23

44-7=37

Answer 24

so s = ?

Answer 25

s=44

Answer 26

right

Answer 27

gtg right now

Answer 28

oh...
