a basket of 1430 apples is divided equally among a group of apple lovers . if 45 people join the group , each apple lover would receive 9 apples less . how many q apples did each person get before 45 people joined the feast ?
"before solving it algebraically , let us prime factorize 1430 = 2 * 5 * 11 * 13 . since number of apples per person * total persons q = 1430 , the answer should be a factor of 1430 . only c is . and that ' s your answer . c"
add(divide(1430, add(divide(1430, add(add(const_10, const_10), const_2)), 45)), 9)
