Answer :

1 bag = 10 apples, therefore:

x bags = 2430 apples

2430 / 10 = 243 bags

243 bags were old by the orchard.

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of apple bags

y: total number of apples

We now write the equation that models the problem.

We have then:

[tex] y = 10x
[/tex]

Substituting for y = 2430 we have:

[tex] 2430 = 10x
[/tex]

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

[tex] x = \frac{2430}{10}

x = 243
[/tex]

Answer:

this was 243 bags of apples
