Question

Anthony borrowed $15 from his mom to pay for food at the school dance. He bought one snow cone for $3, and then used the rest of his money to buy as many chocolate bars as he could. If chocolate bars cost $0.75, then how many chocolate bars could Anthony buy? Part A Select the correct equation to determine the number of chocolate bars Anthony can buy Part B How many chocolate bars can Anthony buy?​

Answer 1

a= 15 = 3+ .75c

b= 16 chocolate bars

Explanation:

15 = 3 + .75c

c= chocolate bars

to solve for the number of chocolate bars:

subtract three for the snowcone he bought= 12=.75c

then just divide by .75 = 16 = c=16

Answer 2

0.75x+3=15

16 chocolate bars
