Question

The owner of a candy store orders Choco-Bars candy bars in large boxes and then repackages them to sell in small boxes in the store. Each large box contains 24 Choco-Bars. In his latest shipment of large boxes, 10 of the candy bars were damaged. Which equation shows the relationship between 'y', the total number of candy bars that were not damaged, and 'x', the number of large boxes he ordered?

Answer 1

The equation that shows the relationship between 'y', the total number of candy bars that were not damaged, and 'x', the number of large boxes ordered, is y = 24x - 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that shows the relationship between the total number of candy bars that were not damaged (y) and the number of large boxes ordered (x) is:

y = 24x - 10

Since each large box contains 24 Choco-Bars and there were 10 damaged candy bars, the total number of candy bars that were not damaged is 24x - 10.
