Question

Luke paid 12.69 for 3 greeting cards. Each card cost the same amount, c. Which equation and solution represent this situation?

Answer 1

I think its answer D

Answer 2

D.
`3c=12.69;c=4.23;\$4.23`

Explanation:

We have been given that Luke paid 12.69 for 3 greeting cards.

We are also told that each card cost the same amount, c, so the cost of 3 cards will be 3c.

Since the cost of 3 cards is 12.69, so we can represent this information in an equation as:

`3c=12.69`

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 3 we will get,

`(3c)/(3)=(12.69)/(3)`

`c=4.23`

Upon looking at our given choices we can see that option D is the correct choice.
