Question

Karla bought a student discount card The card cost $6 and allows her to buy each meal for $3 after one week Karla spent $15 how many meals did she buy ?

Answer 1

Karla bought 3 meals.

Explanation:

6+3m=15

Subtract 6 both sides.

3m=9

Divide 3 both sides.

m=3

m=meals she bought

Answer 2

3 meals

Explanation:

The card costs $6, so we will subtract that from $15 because it is the starting amount. Karla can't buy these meals for $3 without $6. Anyways, 15-6 is 9. Each meal costs $3 so we'll then divide 9 by 3, which gives us our answer: she bought 3 meals.
