Question

Sarah made 6 dozen cupcakes for a party at work. Some of her co-workers, c, each ate 3 cupcakes. Now, there are 45 cupcakes

left. Which equation represents this situation?
OA. (12 x 6)-(c x 3) = 45
OB. (cx 3)-12 = 45
OC. cx 3=45
OD. (12 x 6)- c = 45

Answer 1

Answer: A.

Explanation:

Sarah made 6 dozen cupcakes which is (12 x 6)

Then if her co-workers or c ate 3 cupcakes EACH, it will be (c x 3)
and since they ate them it's subtraction with a left over of 45 cupcakes
