Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! Let's see, if we take a number and add it to another number to get 97, we could say that 50 + 47 equals 97. Or how about 30 + 67? There are many combinations that can bring us to 97, so let's just enjoy the process of exploring numbers and finding the right pair that adds up to this special total.
Brian rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $19.95, and there was an additional charge of 97 cents for each mile driven. Brian had to pay $292.52 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?
74 + 23 = 97
203 + 97 = 300
294
The answer is 182
62
123 + 56 = 179 - 97 = 82
67 = x + 97-30 = x
832 + 97 + 29 = 958 feet
57 + z = 97 z = 97 - 57 z = 40
11
It is: 97+83 = 180
It works out that: z = -32
