Question

Chad and Alison are shopping at a department store. Chad buys a pack of white shirts for $9. He also buys 5 graphic shirts, each marked the same price. Chad spends a total of $64. Alison buys a pack of 'Thank You' cards for $4. She also buys 6 pairs of leggings, each marked the same price. Alison spends a total of $76. You can write an equation to represent each of Chad and Alison's purchases where x is the price of the graphic shirts Chad purchased and y is the price of the leggings Alison purchased.

A) Chad: 9 + 5x = 64; Alison: 4 + 6y = 76
B) Chad: 9x + 5 = 64; Alison: 4y + 6 = 76
C) Chad: 9 + 5y = 64; Alison: 4 + 6x = 76
D) Chad: 9y + 5 = 64; Alison: 4x + 6 = 76

Answer 1

The correct equations to represent Chad and Alison's purchases are 9 + 5x = 64 for Chad and 4 + 6y = 76 for Alison.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chad buys a pack of white shirts for $9 and 5 graphic shirts for $x each. To represent this, we can write the equation as 9 + 5x = 64.

Alison buys a pack of 'Thank You' cards for $4 and 6 pairs of leggings for $y each. To represent this, we can write the equation as 4 + 6y = 76.

Therefore, the correct equations to represent Chad and Alison's purchases are:

Chad: 9 + 5x = 64

Alison: 4 + 6y = 76
