Question

(a) A confectioner had some boxes for burger and he bought 50 more boxes. After
days half of these boxes were used and only 40 boxes were left. Find the number
boxes he had in the beginning.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let some boxes = x

boxes for burger = 50

boxes left = 40

A.T.Q

x - 50 = 40

x = 40+50

x = 90

total boxes are 90

Answer 2

Answer:

30 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no.of boxes be x

Now boxes left after the confectioner bought 50 of the boxes =X+50

After 2 days ,

the half of the boxes were used .So,

X+50/2=40

X+50=40×2

X+50=80

X=80-50

X= 30.

Hence, the number of boxes he had in the beginning were 30.
