Final answer:
To find the number of white candles for a wedding reception with 25 tables and 6 purple candles each, the correct equation is 250 = 25(X + 6), as there are 250 candles in total.
Therefore, the correct answer is: option c) 250= 25(X+6)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation considering that there are 25 tables with 6 purple candles each and an unknown number x of white candles.
Knowing that there are 250 candles in total, the correct equation that represents this situation is 250 = 25(X + 6).
For each table, there are 6 purple candles, and we have x white candles. Since there are 25 tables, the total number of purple candles is 25 times 6.
We add the total number of white candles (25x) to the number of purple candles (25*6) to get the total number of candles, which is 250.
Therefore, the equation C) 250= 25(X+6) can be used to determine the number of white candles.
