Problema Solution
Several office workers bought a $35 gift certificate for their boss. If there had been two more employees to contribute, everyone's cost would have been $2 less. How many workers contributed to the gift?
Answer provided by our tutors
We assume X workers contributed to the gift.
So the equation is
35/x = 35/(x+2) +2
We solve it
x = 5
So 5 workers contributed to the gift.
