Question

What is the equation for this math problem? Steven spent $90 on clothes. He bought a pair of jeans that cost $34 and spent the rest on t-shirts that cost $8 each.

Answer 1

The equation for the given maths problem is $ 34 + $ 8x = $ 90

Explanation:

According to question :

The Total amount spent on cloths = $ 90

The cost of a pair of jeans = $ 34

The cost of each t-shirt pair = $ 8

The amount spent on t-shirt = $ 90 - $ 34 = $ 56

Let the number of t-shirt pair = x

So, $ 34 + $ 8x = $ 90

Or, $ 8x = $ 90 - $ 34

∴ x =
`( 90 -  34)/(8)`

Hence The equation for the given maths problem is $ 34 + $ 8x = $ 90 Answer
