On Halloween night, Mack collects x pieces
of candy and then eats 7 pieces. The next day
he eats 10% of his candy pieces and has 63
pieces remaining. How many pieces of candy
did he collect on Halloween night?

Respuesta :

Based on the number of candy pieces that Mack ate on the first and net day, the number of pieces of candy that he collected on Halloween night was 78 pieces of candy

How to find the number of candy pieces collected?

The total pieces of candy that Mack had left on the next day was:

Number of candy pieces collected - 7 pieces of candy - (10% x Number of candy pieces collected) = 63

To find the number of candy pieces collected:

x - 7 - 10% × x = 63

x - 7 - 0.1x = 63

x - 0.1x = 63 + 7

0.9x = 70

x = 70 / 0.9

x = 77.7

= 78 pieces of candy
