Question

The Nash family spent a total of $240 on a hotel room for 3 nights. Which equation can be used to find c, the average cost per night for the hotel room?

Answer 1

240 dollarsn for 3 nights so,

240=3x divide by 3 to isolate x
x=80 dollars per night

Answer 2

240 divided by 3 = c

Explanation:

Tricky...it is $240 for all 3 nights....not $240 per night. So it is division NOT multiplication.
