There are 156 laptops and desktop computers in a lab. There are 8 more laptops than deskto computers. What is the total number of desktops in the lab?

It would be 70

Step-by-step explanation:

First step: Divide 156 by 2

156 / 2 =  78

Second Step: The half of 156 is 78. Now we have 78 laptops and desktops, and as we know the question says that  "there are 8 more laptops than desktops", the next step to follow is to subtract 8 from 78 (Desktops) and add 8 to the 78 (Laptops).

78 - 8 = 70 Desktops  

78 + 8 = 86 Laptops

Hope this helps :)

answer: yes, he is correct

step-by-step explanation: 10x-1=59

                                              1-1=0     59+1=60

60/10=x=6

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.

7 bagels for $4.41       $4.41/7 = $.63 each at fresh side

5 bagels for $3.60         $3.60/5 = $.72 each at value mart
