Eugene sold half of his comic books and then bought eight more. He now has 32. With how many did he begin?

Answer:

48 books

Step-by-step explanation:

32-8 = 24

24= 1/2 of total

24x2=48

Answer=48 books

Check:

48/2=24

24+8=32

YAY!!

Answer:

48 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use x as the amount that he originally had.

If he sold half of them, that would be:

(1/2)x

Then he bought 8 more, so you would add 8 to that total.

(1/2)x + 8

If he now has 32 then we need to set that equation to equal 32.

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

Subtract 8 from each side.

(1/2)x = 24

Then you will divide 24 by 1/2. That is the same thing as multiplying by 2.

So,

x = 48

Check work

(1/2)x + 8 = 32

(1/2)(48) + 8 = 32

Half of 48 is 24.

24 + 8 = 32.

32 = 32.

After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. After 1 year and an increase of 8% per year, the population is 34,560. Which equation can be used to predict, y, the number of people living in the town after x years? (Round population values to the nearest whole number.)

y = 32,000(1.08)x
y = 32,000(0.08)x
y = 34,560(1.08)x
y = 34,560(0.08)x

Angela is using the Quantitative Reasoning Process to make a decision. She needs to know how much she makes in one year. Sometimes the values we get from our calculations depend on the assumptions we make. The following questions show that Angela will get different values for the amount she makes in a year depending on the assumption she chooses.



Assume that Angela gets paid once per week. Multiply the amount she makes in one week by 52 to find the total she will make in one year.
