Question

Jasmine made a pitcher of lemonade. One pitcher contains 1212 glasses of lemonade. After Jasmine serves 44 glasses of lemonade, how many more glasses, gg, can she serve? Choose the answer that represents the correct equation and solution.

Answer 1

she can serve 1,168 glasses of lemonade

Answer 2

`g+4=12`

`g=8`

Explanation:

Let g represent number of more glasses of lemonade.

We have been given that Jasmine made a pitcher of lemonade. One pitcher contains 12 glasses of lemonade. Jasmine serves 4 glasses of lemonade.

The number of remaining glasses plus served glasses will be equal to 12. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`g+4=12`

Let us solve for g.

`g+4-4=12-4`

`g=8`

Therefore, Jasmine can serve 8 more glasses.
