If there are 180 students in total, how many blind students are there? Define a variable ** Let the number of blind students be x. How many deaf students are there? ** The number of deaf students will then be 3*x = 3x students. Write an equation ** The total number of students is x + 3x = 180 students. Combine like terms ** Combining like terms gives 4x = 180. Divide by 4 ** So the value of x is 180/4 = <<180/4=45>>45. #### 45 Greg and Katie went to Mrs. Scarlet's gold store to have their gold chests opened. They realized Greg had four times less gold than Katie when Mrs. Scarlet opened the chests. If the total amount of gold is 100, how much gold does Greg have?

How many times does Becky pack her lunch? ** Becky packs her lunch ½ as much as Aliyah, so 90 times / 2 = <<90/2=45>>45 times a year. #### 45 Two boys, Ben and Leo, are fond of playing marbles. Ben has 56 marbles, while Leo has 20 more marbles than Ben. They put the marbles in one jar. How many marbles in the jar? How many marbles does Leo have? ** Leo has 56 + 20 = <<56+20=76>>76 marbles.

After 20 minutes, 30 more racers joined the race. The total number of racers doubled after another 30 minutes. If at the end of the race only 130 people finished the race, what's the total number of people who dropped before finishing the race? How many racers were there at the start? ** At the start, there were 50 racers, who were joined by 30 more racers, thus 50+30 =<<50+30=80>>80 racers How many racers were there after 30 more minutes? ** After 30 more minutes, the number of racers doubled, totaling 80*2 = 160 racers. How many racers dropped before finishing? ** If the number of racers who finished is 130, the 160-130 = 30 racers dropped before finishing. #### 30 Haley has 5 more necklaces than Jason.
