Question

Hanna shops for socks that cost $2.99 for each pair and blouses that cost $12.99 each. Let x represent the number of pairs of socks purchased, and let y represent the number of blouses purchased. Which equation models the purchases she made with $43.92

Answer 1

2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92

Explanation:

If each pair of socks is 2.99 and the amount of socks purchased is unknown, then the first part would be 2.99x. x would represent the number of socks.

If each blouse is 12.99 and the amount of blouses purchased is unknown, then the first part would be 12.99y. y would represent the number of blouses.
