Question #82e24

Answer 1

D) 23

Explanation:

You can do this question using simple linear equation.

Let the number of cans she collected yesterday be `color(red)x`.

The cans she collected today were ' double the number of cans that she collected yesterday, less 2 cans' i.e. `(2*x)-2`.

But the cans she collected today are `44`.

Hence, `(2*x)-2=44`
`=> 2*x=44+2`
`=> 2*x = 46`
`=> x=46/2 = 23`

`therefore x=23`. D is the answer.
