Answer 1

The equation that can be used to solve for b is:

`1.49b+5.19=20`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sindi has $20 to buy takis for the week

Each small bag of takis cost $1.49

After purchasing her bag of takis, Sindi has $5.19 remaining.

We want to know which equation can be used to solve for the number of small bags of takis Sandi bought.

Let b be the number of small bag of takis she bought.

By the statement above, the addition of the number of bags of takis she bought, and the amount she has left after the purchase, is equal to the amount her parents gave her.

That is:

`1.49b+5.19=20`

This is the equation that can be used to solve for b.
