Question

Mr. Ready went to Walmart for some groceries. A large bag of chips is $4 and each

pound of meat is $2. Create an equation that represents the number of bags of chips
and the pounds of meat he bought if he spent $38.

Answer 1

`38=4c+2m`

Explanation:

I will use the letter c to represent bags of chips, and the letter m to represent pounds of meat.

The total cost of c bags of chips is 4 times c. The total cost of m pounds of meat is 2 times m. The total amount that he spends is $38. Therefore, this equation can be written.

`38=4c+2m`
