Question

Rahul was given a large box of 60 chocolates for his birthday. If he eats exactly 4

chocolates each day, how many chocolates would Rahul have remaining 9 days after
his birthday?

Answer 1

He'll have 24 chocolates remaining.

Explanation:

Lets make an equation to represent the problem where x = the number of days and c = chocolates remaining.

60 - 4x = c

Since he ate four chocolates everyday for 9 days, the x in this equation would be 9.

Multiply 9 by 4 to get 36, Then subtract that from 60 to get 24.
