Lily bought a bag of gummy bears and ate one-third of them. The next day, she ate 16 more gummy bears. If she ate a total of 37 gummy bears, how many were originally in the bag?

PLZ GIVE ME STEP BY STEP EQUATION ASAP!!

Respuesta :

Answer: 63 total gummy bears

Step-by-step explanation: 37 - 16= 21. 21 is the one third she ate. So 21 x 3 give you the original amount of gummy bears which is 63

Equation= 37 - 16 x 3= 63

Let that be x

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x/3+16=37[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x/3=37-16[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x/3=21[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=21(3)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=63[/tex]
