Throughout the day, she refills the container with 10 more wipes after using up 20. By nighttime, she only has 60 wipes left. How many wipes were in the container in the morning? | Let w be the number of wet wipes Elsie had in the morning.
Throughout the day, she used w-20 wet wipes.
Once that happened, she had to refill the container resulting in w-20+10 = w<<-20+10=-10>>-10 wet wipes.
By nighttime, she had w-10=60 wipes.
So then, w=60+10=<<60+10=70>>70.
She started with w=<<70=70>>70 wipes.
