Ada has a certain number of oranges, Tolu promised Ada five times the oranges he has and Ada’s Mother promised to add thirteen more oranges for Ada. The total oranges of Ada is forty eight. How many oranges has Ada originally?
A. sixty – five B. eight C. thirty – five D. seven
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Let \(x\) be the number of oranges Ada originally haD. Tolu promised \(5x\) oranges. After Ada's mother adds \(13\) more oranges, the total becomes \(x + 5x + 13 = 48\). So, \(6x + 13 = 48\). Solving for \(x\), we get \(x = 7\).
