Splinter wrote a three-digit number on the board. Then he asked each of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo) to count the number of letter in his name. (Donatello has 9 letters in his name.)
Splinter said that for each turtle, the number of the board minus the number of letters in the turtle's name is evenly divisible by the number of letters.
Each turtle confirmed that Splinter was right.
Find the number Splinter wrote on the board.

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

is there a question here?
