Answer:
The equation that can be used to solve n is 8n = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Q = Quarter = 8
P = Penny = 24
Condition
She has n times as many pennies as quarters.
Required
Equation to find n
The statement "She has n times as many pennies as quarters." means that the relationship between penny and quartets is
Penny = quarter * n
P = Q * n
P = nQ
By substituton (P = 24 and Q = 8)
P = nQ becomes
24 = n * 8
24 = 8n
8n = 24
Hence, the equation that can be used to solve n is 8n = 24
Solving further
Multiply both sides by ⅛
8n = 24 becomes
8n * ⅛ = 24 * ⅛
n = 3
