Question

Brady is selling candy bars for a school fundraiser to help pay for new sports uniforms. He gets paid $2 for every candy bar he sells, and he made a total of $90 on Saturday. Write an equation to show how many candy bars Brady sold on Saturday. 2 − x = 90 2x = 90 90 − x = 2 90x = 2

Answer 1

2x=90

Explanation:

He gets paid $2 for EVERY CANDY BAR SOLD

So $2 is at the beginning of the answer.

We also know that by saturday, he had a total of $90.

So there's 1 missing thing we dont know which is why the answer is:

2x=90

2 is what we start with and 90 is the whole amount of money he makes so the 90 goes at the end.

Answer 2

Second option:
`2x=90`

Explanation:

Let be "x" the number of candy bars Brady sold on Saturday.

For this exercise you need to analize the information provided in the exercise.

According to the information provided, Brady gets paid $2 for every candy bar he sells. This can be expressed as:

`2x`

You know that Brady made a total of $90 on Saturday; this mean the product of
`2x` is 90.

Based on this, you can write the following equation that represents the number of candy bars Brady sold on Saturday:

`2x=90`

Observe that this matches with the second option.
