Question

To prepare for his mountain biking trip, Rhyan bought four tire patches. Rhyan paid using a gift card that had $22.20 on it. After the sale, Rhyan’s gift card had $1.90 remaining. Which equations could you use to find the price of one tire patch? Select all that apply.

A: 4x – 1.9 = 22.2
B:4x – 22.2 = 1.9
C: 4x + 1.9 =
D: 22.2 4x + 22.2 = –1.9
E: 22.2 – 4x = 1.9

Answer 1

Answer: We can use the following equation to find the price of one tire patch:

4x = 22.2 - 1.9

Simplifying the right-hand side:

4x = 20.3

Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 4:

x = 5.075

Therefore, the price of one tire patch is $5.075.

The equation that corresponds to the given problem is:

A: 4x - 1.9 = 22.2

This equation represents the total cost of the four tire patches minus the remaining balance on the gift card equal to the initial balance of the gift card.
