Question

Choi has $10 to buy tacos that cost $2.50 each. Choi can buy x tacos in total.

Write an algebraic equation that represents this situation.

Answer 1

The algebraic equation that represents this situation is:

2.5x = 10

Where "x" represents the total number of tacos that Choi can buy, and 2.5 represents the cost of each taco in dollars. The equation states that the total cost of the tacos (2.5x) is equal to the amount of money Choi has to spend (10 dollars).
