Jack’s mom gave him 50 chocolates. At Jack’s party, he gave each of his friends 6 chocolates. Unfortunately Jack was 4 pieces short, and one friend only got 2 pieces of chocolate. How many people were at Jack’s Party?

9 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

since The total is 50.

and each friend was given 6 then the ratio of friend to chocolate is 1:6 .

but one friend received 2.

hance there's two possible ways of solving

one by subtract two and latter adding the friend who did not receive

x=1/6(50-2)

x=1/6(48)

x=8 ; note one did not receive 6.

therefore James had 9 friends.

or better still you could add 4 to the total (which means all received equally)

x=1/6(50+4)

x=1/6(54)

x=9

i can you with this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
