Question

Is collecting baseball cards.To add to his collection, he currently has 95 baseball cards and would like to get to 200 baseball cards.By collecting an additional 15 cards per month, write the equation and solve for the number of months.It will take nicholas to collect two hundred baseball cards
Equation fifteen x equals two hundred v ninety five x plus fifteen five equals two hundred
Time it will take two months five months or seven months

Answer 1

To find out how many months it will take Nicholas to reach his goal of 200 baseball cards, we can set up an equation based on the information given:

1. Current number of baseball cards: 95
2. Target number of baseball cards: 200
3. Cards collected per month: 15

We want to know how many months \( x \) it will take Nicholas to achieve his target. The equation can be set up as follows:

\[ 95 + 15x = 200 \]

Now, let's solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract 95 from both sides: \[ 15x = 200 - 95 \] \[ 15x = 105 \]

2. Divide both sides by 15: \[ x = \frac{105}{15} \] \[ x = 7 \]

It will take Nicholas 7 months to collect enough baseball cards to reach a total of 200 cards.
