Question 236216: Karin made pressed cider with a group of campers. They wanted the counselors to have one-quarter of the cider, so they split the cider into four equal parts and put one of them aside for the counselors. The campers had 4.2 gallons of cider to drink themselves. How much cider was squeezed from the apples in the first place? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x/4+4.2=x
.25x-x=-4.2
-.75x=-4.2
x=-4.2/-.75

5.6/4+4.2=5.6
1.4+4.2=5.6
5.6=5.6
