set up an equation to solve​

Answer 1

Given -

Mother tells her daughter that she prepared laddu 3 times more than the number of barfis. Laddu prepared 125.

To find -

Set an equation for above statement and solve.

Solution -

Let us think barfi as x

Laddu prepared 3 times barfi, and laddu prepared 125 (laddu = 125)

laddu = 3 times barfi

=> 125 = 3×barfi

=> 125 = 3×x

=> 125 = 3x

=> 3x = 125

We have found the equation. Now we will solve it.

3x = 125

=> 3×x = 125

=> x = 125÷3

=> x = 41.66

It means Her mother prepared 41 barfis and one barfi not fully prepared.

hope it helps.
