Question

Daniel found he could fit A apples into a bag. He bought two bags full, plus
three more apples for good measure. A week later, after he had eaten 15
apples, he saw that he had one full bag of apples left over (A). How many
apples were in the bag?

Answer 1

Answer:

Daniel has 12 apples in his bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

(Let the number of apples that can fit in a bag be represented by A.)

Daniel bought 2A apples (two bags full) and 3 additional apples.

After eating 15 apples, he had one full bag of apples left.

= 2A + 3 - 15 = A.

= -12 = A.

Answer: Therefore, there were 12 apples in the bag.
