Zoe runs a market in the city of Manila. Half of the canned drinks in stock were sold out. Zoe bought 68 more canned drinks to restock her supply. If there is a total of 200 cans now, how many canned drinks were in stock initially?

264 canned drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

canned drinks in stock initially = x

Canned drinks sold out = 1/2 of x

= 1/2x

Canned drinks remaining in stock = x - 1/2x

= 1/2x

New restock = 68 canned drinks

Total drinks in stock presently = Canned drinks remaining in stock + New restock

200 = 1/2x + 68

200 - 68 = 1/2x

132 = 1/2x

x = 132 ÷ 1/2

= 132 × 2/1

x = 264 canned drinks

canned drinks in stock initially = x = 264 canned drinks

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
