Abby’s family is splitting up their weekly budget, b, so everyone can help with one task. Abby gets 1/3 of the budget to pay 7 bills all for the same amount. Each bill was for $25.50.
Which of the following equations could be used to solve for the original budget, b?

A. 3b/7 = 25.50
B 7 x (1/3b) = 25.50
C (1/3b)/7 = 25.50
D (1/7b) + 3 = 25.50

Answer 1

Choice C (1/3b)/7 = 25.50

Explanation:

1/3 of budget b =(1/3)b

7 bills at $25.50 per bill = 7 x 25.50

Setting both equation to each other we get
(1/3)b = 7 x 25.50

Dividing by 7:
(1/3b)/7 = 25.50
