Answer 1

1) 8*5=40(вареників) -залишилось вареників;
2) 40+8=48(вареників) - було спочатку.

Answer 2

Problem Analysis

We are given that Petrik ate 8 vareniks, and there were 5 times more vareniks left than the number he ate. We need to determine the initial number of vareniks.

Solution

Let's assume the initial number of vareniks is x.

According to the given information, the number of vareniks left is 5 times more than the number Petrik ate. This can be expressed as:

x - 8 = 5 * 8

Simplifying the equation:

x - 8 = 40

Adding 8 to both sides:

x = 48

Therefore, the initial number of vareniks was 48.

Answer

The initial number of vareniks was 48.
