Q. Hassan's energetic Uncle Bob loves roller coasters, and he wants to ride them all! One day, Hassan prints out a list of all the roller coasters in the United States. After reading it with Uncle Bob, they discover he has already ridden 93 of the coasters. There are still 400 coasters left to ride.Solve for c to find the number of roller coasters on Hassan's list.____ roller coasters
Identify Total Coasters: To find the total number of roller coasters on Hassan's list, we need to subtract the number of coasters Uncle Bob has already ridden from the total number of coasters ride.
Equation Representation: The correct equation that represents this situation is c+93=400. This is because Uncle Bob has already ridden 93 coasters, and there are 400 coasters left to ride.
Isolate Variable c: To solve the equation c+93=400, we need to isolate c. We do this by subtracting 93 from both sides of the equation.
Subtract 93: Subtracting 93 from both sides gives us c=400−93.
Calculate Total: Now we calculate 400−93 to find the value of c.
Final Result:400−93 equals 307.
