Item Cost ($)
Bottle of Paint: 2.75
Brush: 1.09
Canvas: 7.99
Easel: 18.99
Palette: 4.50

She bought a canvas, two brushes, and three bottles of paint.

Which addition equation can be used to determine how much more money x Anna still has to spend?

A)
7.99 + (1.09) + (2.75) + x = 25


B)
7.99 + 3(1.09) + 2(2.75) + x = 25


C)
7.99 + 2(1.09) + 3(2.75) + x = 25


D)
7.99 + 2(1.09) + 3(2.75) + 25 = x

Answer 1

7.99+2(1.09)+3(2.75)+x =25

Explanation:

what's given are the prices of the canvas, brushes, and bottles of pain. 7.99 represents the one canvas Anna is buying, 2(1.09) represents the 2 brushes, and 3(2.75) represents the bottle of paints. Now what's left is x and x represents the amount of money left on the gift card. The gift card is $25 in total so that's why at the end of the equation it equals to $25.
