Question
Gina has 25 more barrettes than Holly.The equation g = 25 + h, where g represents the number of barrettes Gina has, and h represents the number of barrettes Holly has, shows this relationship.If Gina has 47 barrettes, how many barrettes does Holly have? A. 69 B. 18 C. 72 D. 22Reset Submit
Solution
The problem gives us the equation g = 25 + h, where g represents the number of barrettes Gina has, and h represents the number of barrettes Holly has.
We know that Gina has 47 barrettes, so we can substitute 47 for g in the equation:
47 = 25 + h
To solve for h (the number of barrettes Holly has), we need to isolate h. We can do this by subtracting 25 from both sides of the equation:
47 - 25 = h
This simplifies to:
22 = h
So, Holly has 22 barrettes. The answer is D. 22.
