Question

Jamal has $15.00 to spend at the concession stand. He buys nachos for $7.50, and he wants to purchase some sour straws for $1.50 each. How many sour straws can Jamal purchase with the money that he has? (With x and you have to find the x)

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Equation: 7.5 + 1.5x = 15

Subtract 7.5 from both sides you get 1.5x = 7.5

Divide both sides by 1.5 you get 5.

He can buy a total of 5 sour straws.

Hope this helps :)
