Answer 2

Option B.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`49y-8=89`

We need to find a word problem that can represented by the given equation.

The required problem is : A water filter filters 49 ounces of water per day. The first 8 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out. How many days will it take the water filter to produce 89 ounces of consumable water?

Let y be the number number of days it take the water filter to produce 89 ounces of consumable water.

Total water filtered in y days = 49y

The first 8 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out.

Total consumable water filtered in y days = 49y - 8

We need to produce 89 ounces of consumable water.

`49y-8=89`

Therefore, the correct option is B.
