Question

Raman has 12 toffees which is thrice as many toffees as 3 less than what
Jasmine has. How many toffees does Jasmine have?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Jasmine has 7 toffees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Raman has 12 toffees,

Let Jasmine have x toffees,

Now, according to the Question,

Raman's toffees = 3 × (Jasmine's toffees - 3)

12 = 3(x - 3)

12 = 3x - 9

3x = 12 + 9

3x = 21

x= 21/3

x = 7

Hence,

Jasmine has 7 toffees.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Jasmine has 7 toffees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume:

• Jasmine have x toffees.

Given that:

• Raman has 12 toffees which is thrice as many toffees as 3 less than what Jasmine has.

To Find:

• Number of toffees Jasmine have.

Finding the number of toffees Jasmine have:

• According to the question.

→ 3(x - 3) = 12

→ 3x - 9 = 12

→ 3x = 12 + 9

→ 3x = 21

→ x = 21/3

→ x = 7

∴ Jasmine has 7 toffees.

Verification:

→ 3(x - 3) = 12

• Substituting the values.

→ 3(7 - 3)= 12

→ 3 × 4 = 12

→ 12 = 12
