sam gave jen 1/2 of his jujubes .jen ate 1/2 ofthe jujubes and gave rest to kyle.kyle kept 8 of the jujubes and gave the last 10 to kim .
how many jujubes did Jen eat?


Sagot :

Let x = the # jujubes Sam had
he gave x/2 to jen
jen eats half of it  =    1/2(x/2) =    x/4
the remaining  x/4 he gave to kyle
kyle kept 8 and gave 10 to Kim
so
             x/4 - 8 = 10
             x/4 = 18
             x =72
thus    jen had 36 jujubes
jen eat    18  jujubes
