Nicholas has 425 pennies this is 53 more than six times a number of pennies Chloe has how many pennies does Chloe have

Answer :

62

Explanation

Step 1

Let C represents the number of pennies Chloe has

Nicolas has: 425 pennies

Also,this is 53 more than six times a number of pennies Chloe has

so

six times a number of pennies Chloe has =6C

53 more than six times a number of pennies=6C+53

[tex]425=6C+53\rightarrow equation[/tex]

Step 2

solve the equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} 425=6C+53 \\ subtract\text{ 53 in both sides} \\ 425-53=6C+53-53 \\ 372=6C \\ \text{divide both sides by 6} \\ \frac{372}{6}=\frac{6c}{6} \\ C=62 \end{gathered}[/tex]

hence

Clhoe has 62 pennies.
