Question

Leo chooses a number between 1 and 100 calls it ‘y’. He divides y by 2 then adds 6 to the result. The answer is 30. What is the value of y?

Answer 1

To find the value of y, we can set up an equation:

(y / 2) + 6 = 30

First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

(y / 2) = 24

Now, we multiply both sides by 2 to solve for y:

y = 48

Therefore, the value of y is 48.
