Question

Hanna shops for socks that cost $2.99 for each pair and blouses that cost $12.99 each. Let x represent the number of pairs of socks purchased, and let y represent the number of blouses purchased. Which equation models the purchases she made with $43.92? x + y = 15.98x + y = 43.9243.92x – 2.99y = 12.992.99x + 12.99y= 43.92

Answer 1

The correct answer is 2.99x + 12.99y= 43.92 because you have to multiply the total of each item by its correspondent price.

Answer 2

Option (d) is correct.

The equation that models purchases she made with $43.92 is

2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92

Explanation:

Given : Hanna shops for socks that cost $2.99 for each pair and blouses that cost $12.99 each.

We have to find the equation that models the purchases she made with $43.92.

Let x represent the number of pairs of socks purchased,

and let y represent the number of blouses purchased.

Since, Cost of one pair of socks is $ 2.99

then Cost of x pair of socks is $ 2.99x

Cost of one blouses is $ 12.99

then Cost of y blouses is $ 12.99y

Thus, The purchase she made with $43.92 is given by,

2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92
