Question

The cost of the hiking trip is 2/3 of the cost of last years trip this year trip cost $32 write and solve an equation to find the cost of last years trip

Answer 1

(32/2)*3=48

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, we must find one third of last year's trip. To do this, we can simply divide the cost of this years trip by two, 32/2=16.

Now if we multiply this this number by 3, 16*3=48, we can see that the total cost of last year's trip was $48.

If we'd like to turn this into one equation, it looks like this: (32/2)*3=48
