Len won a gift card for
100 cups of tea. He orders
the same number of cups
each month. After a year,
he has 16 cups leht. How
many cups did he order
each month?

Respuesta :

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of cups he ordered per month.

There are 12 months in a year.

Therefore, 12 times x plus 16 (the amount he has left) must equal to 100. Thus:

[tex]12x+16=100[/tex]

Subtract 16 from both sides:

[tex]12x=84[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12:

[tex]x=7[/tex]

Therefore, Len ordered 7 cups of tea per month.
