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. 4x – 1.9 = 22.2 4x – 22.2 = 1.9 4x + 1.9 = 22.2 4x + 22.2 = –1.9 22.2 – 4x = 1.9

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can use the equation:

4x - 1.9 = 22.2

where x is the price of one tire patch.

This equation represents the total cost of four tire patches minus the amount remaining on the gift card after the purchase. Solving for x, we get:

4x = 22.2 + 1.9

4x = 24.1

x = 24.1 / 4

x = 6.025

Therefore, the price of one tire patch is $6.025.

None of the other equations listed are appropriate for solving this problem.
