the store sold 46 backpacks. ? The school store received an order of backpacks on Wednesday. During that day, the store sold 46 backpacks. On Thursday, the store sold 1/4 of the backpacks that were left. When the store opened on Friday, there were 153 backpacks available. How many backpacks did the order contain?
 
Let x = number of backpacks in the order.
46 is amount sold on Wednesday
(x - 46)/4 is amount sold on Thursday

x - 46 - (x-46)/4 = 153
