Question

Paula went to a fast food place with a group of friends. She bought $ 15 family-size combo meals and nachos. If each meal combined costs $6 and you spent $ 63, write an equation that represents the problem situation.

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

family-size nachos = $15

combined meals = $6

total cost = $63

Step 02:

Equation

x = # combined meals

y = # family-size nachos

$6*x + y * $15 = $63

6x + 15y = 63

That is the solution.
