Kate has 79 more envelopes to stamp before
she can send off her wedding invitations.
If she is sending 234 invitations in all, how
many has she stamped so far?​

Respuesta :

Kate has stamped 155 invitations so far.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of invitations = 234

Envelopes left to stamp = 79

Let,

x be the number of envelopes stamped.

According to given statement;

Stamped envelopes + Envelopes left to stamp = Total invitations

[tex]x+79=234[/tex]

Subtracting 79 from both sides

[tex]x+79-79=234-79\\x=155[/tex]

Kate has stamped 155 invitations so far.
