Question

Karia gave each of her 8 friends an equal number of flyers to pass out at the upcoming student government vote. She also gave each of them person 2 bags to carry their flyers. Karia had 200 items to hand out to students including the bags. Write an equation to represent this situation

PLEASE HELP!!! 10 POINTS!!

Answer 1

8x + 8 * 2 = 200

Explanation:

Let's assume that each friend received x flyers to pass out.

The equation would be:

8x + 8 * 2 = 200

8x = 184

x = 23

So each friend received 23 flyers and 2 bags, and in total, they received 23 * 8 + 8 * 2 = 200 items.
