A word problem can be solved by forming and solving the equations according to the given statement

Given

• The baseball cards given is 114
• The cards that tom kept is 10
• The number of friends are 8

Find

We need to find the number of baseball cards did each friend get

Solution

Let the number of baseball card shared be x

Total number of baseball cards are 114

The number of friends are 8

If Tom keeps 10 cards with him

Then total number of remaining cards = 114-10 = 104cards

So total number of remaining cards are 104

Now the cards are divided among 8 friends that is

8x = 104

The number of card did each friend get is

x = 104/8

x = 13

Hence The number of card did each friend get is 104
