Answer:
Minimum candy Tyler gets = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of candy in box = 50
Extra candy = 5
Find:
Minimum candy Tyler gets
Computation:
Assume.
Number of candy Tyler gets = x
Number of candy Jamie gets = x - 8
Total number of candy in box = 50 + 5 = 55
So,
Number of candy Tyler gets + Number of candy Jamie gets = Total number of candy in box
x + x - 8 = 55
2x = 63
x = 31.5
So,
Minimum candy Tyler gets = 32
