Question

Randeep purchased sandwiches and a gallon of milk for himself and his friends. Each sandwich cost $8. The gallon of milk cost $4. The total cost of the meal was $44. Which answer choice represents and solves correctly the equation for x, the number of sandwiches that Randeep purchased? DON'T FORGET THE NUMBER OF SANDWICHES RANDEEP MUST BUY TO REACH $44.

Answer 1

Answer: He bought 5 sandwiches.

Explanation:

We know that he purchased sandwiches (let's suppose that he bought X ) and one gallon of milk.

The cost of each sandwich is $8, then the cost of the X sandwiches will be X times $8, or: X*$8.

The cost of the gallon of milk is $4.

The total cost will be:

$4 + X*$8.

And we know that the total cost was $44, then we have the equation:

$4 + X*$8 = $44

We can solve this for X

X*$8 = $44 - $4

X*$8 = $40

X = $40/$8 = 5

This means that he bought 5 sandwiches
