Question

Describe a real-life problem that can be solved using the equation $50x=400$. Then solve the problem.

Short answer

Value of x$=8$.

Step-by-step solution

Step-1- Solve using assumption

Assume that one child buys $50$toys to distribute to his friends on occasion of friendship day.

Total cost for purchasing those toys is $\$400$.

Let us assume that cost of each toy be x.

From above information We came to know that

$50x=400$

Step-2- Solve for value of x

Dividing with $50$on both sides, we get

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{50x}{50}=\frac{400}{50}\\ x=\frac{400}{50}\\ x=8\end{array}$

Step-3- Conclusion

Therefore, the price of each toy is $=x=\$8$.
