Question
Li Xin distributed candies to her friends at her birthday party. She gave some candies equally to 15 friends and had 6 candies left. If each friend received v candies, how many candies did Li Xin have at first?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for the total number of candies Li Xin had at first. The formula is:
Total number of candies = (Number of friends * Candies each friend received) + Remaining candies
Given in the problem, we know:
Number of friends = 15 Candies each friend received = v (we don't know the exact number yet) Remaining candies = 6
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Total number of candies = (15 * v) + 6
So, the total number of candies Li Xin had at first depends on the value of v (the number of candies each friend received). Once we know the value of v, we can substitute it into the equation to find the total number of candies.
