Answer 1

The situation best represented by the given information is option B: An office manager paid $675.95 for computer equipment. The office manager bought one monitor for $127.95 and hard drives for $68.50 each. What is x, the number of hard drives the office manager bought?

To represent this situation as an equation, let x be the number of hard drives. The total cost of the computer equipment is the cost of the monitor plus the cost of the hard drives:

675.95 = 127.95 + 68.50x

Now, we can solve for x to find the number of hard drives the office manager bought.
