Question

T-shirts at a flea market cost $4.50 each, and shorts cost $6 each. You have a total of $108. Write an equation that models the possible combinations of t-shirts and shorts you can buy. Use t for t-shirts and s for shorts.

A. 4.50t + 6s = 108
B. 6t + 4.50s = 108
C. 4t + 6.50s = 108
D. 6.50t + 4s = 108

Answer 1

The correct equation to model the possible combinations of t-shirts and shorts you can buy with $108 is 4.50t + 6s = 108, where t is the number of t-shirts and s is the number of shorts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to write an equation that models the possible combinations of t-shirts and shorts that can be bought with a total of $108, where t-shirts cost $4.50 each and shorts cost $6 each. Using t to represent the number of t-shirts and s to represent the number of shorts, the correct equation would be:

4.50t + 6s = 108

This equation represents the total cost ($108) as the sum of the cost of t-shirts (4.50 times the number of t-shirts) and the cost of shorts (6 times the number of shorts).
