Question

A bat are 1050 Dragon flies on four consecutive nights.each night she ate 25 more than the night before.How many did she eat on first night?

Answer 1

Let it be First night x amt of bats
2nd night x+25
3rd night x+50
4th night x+75
x+x+25+x+50+x+75=1050
4x=900

x=225

Answer 2

Answer:

First Night: 225

Second Night: 250

Third Night: 275

Fourth Night: 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number the bat ate the first night

the second night the bat ate 25 more

that would be

x + 25

x + 50 (third night

x + 75 (fourth night

now add them all together

x + x +25 +x + 50 + x + 75 = 1050 (total the bat ate

4x + 150 = 1050

4x = 900

x = 225 (1st night

x+ 25 = 250 (second night

x + 50 = 275 (third night

x + 75 = 300 (4th night

check it

225 + 250 + 275 + 300 = 1050 and it all checks out

Hope this helps
