Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Joe used 3/10 of a box of cereal on Monday for baking and the rest on Tuesday . if he used 192 grams more cereal on Tuesday than on Monday, what was the total weight of cereal that he had at first ?

• Let Monday and Tuesday be p and q and box be b  
• So p + q = b
• So q = p + 192 (since Joe used 192 grams more on Tuesday)
• Now p = 3/10 of b on Monday
• Also q = 1 – 3/10 = 7/10 of b on Tuesday.
• Now the equation will be
•      7/10 b = 3/10 b + 192 (7/10 of box on Tuesday = 3/10 of b on Monday + 192 grams)
•      7/10 b – 3/10 b = 192
•          4/10 b = 192
•        4b = 1920
•       Or b = 1920 / 4
•      Or b = 480 grams.
• Therefore he had 480 grams at the beginning.
