Question

After giving 8 apples to her friend, kemi notices that two,- third of the remainder is 12.how many apples did she have altogether

Answer 1

The answer is supposed to be 20 ,please review it

Answer 2

Let's start by finding the remainder after giving 8 apples: 8 apples

Now let's find two-thirds of the remainder: (2/3) * (8 apples - 8 apples) = 12 apples

To find the total number of apples, we need to divide the number given by two-thirds: 12 apples / (2/3) = 12 apples * (3/2) = <<12*(3/2)=18>>18 apples

Therefore, Kemi initially had 18 apples before giving 8 of them to her friend.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's review the question again.

After giving 8 apples to her friend, Kemi notices that two-thirds of the remainder is 12. We need to find the total number of apples she had initially.

Let's assume Kemi initially had x apples.

After giving 8 apples to her friend, Kemi has x - 8 apples remaining.

Two-thirds of the remaining apples is 12:

(2/3) * (x - 8) = 12

To solve for x, we'll multiply both sides by (3/2):

(3/2) * (2/3) * (x - 8) = (3/2) * 12

Simplifying:

x - 8 = (36/2)
x - 8 = 18

Now, we'll add 8 to both sides of the equation to solve for x:

x = 18 + 8
x = 26

Therefore, Kemi initially had 26 apples before giving 8 of them to her friend.
