Question

manny's father bought a box of miniature candy bars for him. his mother limited the number of candy bars he could eat each day. the equation n = 96 – 3d models the number of candy bars, n, that were in manny's box after d days. how many days had manny been eating candy bars when there were 63 bars left in the box?

Answer 1

n = 96 - 3d

3d = 96 - 63

3d = 33

d = 33/3

d = 11.

He had been eating it for 11 days.
